Chinese people love the plum blossom. The ancient Chinese regarded the flower as brave, pure and noble. The harsher the winter is, the more beautiful and fragrant flowers are. For this reason, winter season is usually associated with plum blossoms in China. During January and February, the flowers are in full bloom in many parts of the country.
