Hello everyone!
Sometimes, the best souvenirs are not something we buy. Sometimes, they are something we plant, care for, and watch grow.
A month ago, my sister-in-law gave me some Sakura tree seeds. I was not sure if they would grow, but I decided to try. I planted the seeds in a small pot and simply hoped that something would come out.
After one month, I was so happy to see these little Sakura seedlings growing. From tiny seeds, they now have small green leaves and are ready to be moved to bigger pots.
For the soil, I did not buy anything special. I went to the backyard garden and get some soil. I put it in small pots and used black cellophane as a simple container. It may not look fancy, but for me, it is already enough to help these little plants grow.
I know that planting a Sakura tree just one month before the wedding may seem a little late. But I still wanted to try because my brother's wedding will be in October.
Even though I have been busy with many things, I made time to plant and take care of these seedlings. I wanted to give them at least one month to grow before I bring one of them to the wedding venue.
I do not expect it to be big by the wedding day. It may still be very small, and that is okay. For me, this little Sakura tree is not just a plant. It is a special souvenir from my brother's wedding. My sister-in-law gave me the seeds, and I was the one who planted them. Every time I see the little leaves, I will remember this special time in our family.
I will bring one Sakura seedling to the wedding next month. The other seedlings will stay here and I will plant them on our farm.
I love the idea that some of them will become part of the wedding celebration, while the others will continue to grow here at home.
Maybe one day, these tiny seedlings will become beautiful trees. Maybe they will even bloom.
For now, I am simply happy that they grew.
It reminds me that sometimes, we just need to try, even when we are not sure of the result. From a tiny seed to a growing tree, this Sakura will always carry a beautiful family memory.
