A Plum Tree Blossoms

A blogging friend is anxiously awaiting the coming home of her little girl from Taiwan. They had this tree painted in the nursery which will sleep little Hannah Clare when she joins her loving Mom and Dad. According to Sarah (a true fountain of Knowledge on all things Taiwan) "The plum blossom is the national flower of Taiwan. The blossoms are common subjects in Chinese art. They are beloved for their resilience and perseverance in face of adversity. Plum trees bloom most vibrantly during the winter after other plants have shed their leaves and before flowers appear" Little Hannah was a preemie so how appropriate to have such a symbol of strength watching over her as she sleeps. Just had to share.
