The Japanese plum tree usually blooms in February, long before the showy delicate cherry tree. The plum blossoms are so beloved in asia because they are viewed as blooming most vibrantly amidst the winter snow, and exuding an ethereal elegance, while their fragrance is noticed to subtly pervade the air at even the coldest times of the year. Therefore the plum blossom came to symbolize not only perseverance and hope, but also beauty, purity, and the temporal aspect of life. The plum blossom is also regarded as one of the "Four Gentlemen" seasonal flowers in Chinese art together with the orchid, chrysanthemum, and bamboo - as famously depicted on Mahjong tiles.
