Blossom is spring personified and at the moment it can be seen and treasured in all its natural beauty in the UK. Pictures by Danny Lawson, Simon Hulme, Tony Johnson, Paul Bentley and Ernesto Rogata.
It must be one of the surest signs we have that spring has arrived or is around the corner – bouquets of white and pink branching out over our streets. Blossom is a sight which is celebrated all over the world at this time of year – in Japan, for instance, people flock from around the globe for its festivals showcasing sakura in March and April. There are some beautiful examples in Yorkshire, too, as these photographs show.
Laura, a florist from Helen James Flowers, also in Harrogate, displays her creations against a backdrop of blossom, while other images show full bloom at Bolling Hall in Bradford and a farm in Drighlington. Yorkshire’s arts and culture scene is thriving - our newsletter will put you at the heart of it With blossom offering such a spectacle each year, it would be easy to assume that it is abundant, but the National Trust says it’s been declining in UK landscapes since 1900.
