桜はまだ cherry blossoms follow ume

　梅は見頃ですが、左側の枝垂れ桜は、まだ蕾が固い状態です。

　「梅は咲いたか、桜はまだかいな」、ご存知、江戸時代に流行した唄の冒頭の歌詞です。梅はもう咲いたけど、桜はいつ咲くのかと、待ちわびる気持ちが伝わってきますね。

　The ume, Japanese apricot, is in full bloom, but the buds of the weeping cherry tree on the left are still hard.

　"Ume has bloomed, but cherry blossoms haven't yet?" This lyrics at the beginning of a song that was popular in the Edo period. I can see the long waiting feeling of when the cherry blossoms will bloom.
