In Japan a lot of couples find the cherry blossoms to be romantic and for that reason a lot of girl children are named Sakura in memory of their early romance.
I never knew Sakura meant cherry blossom in Japanese, but do remember part of the tune from singing it in junior high; it was not one of the songs chosen for public performances in school, but was in the seventh-grade songbook. There were othersongs pertaining to plants, such as Among the Pines.
Oh, Ms. Sakura tree, but we do complain when you shed. Your petals change from lovely pink to ugly brown and they stick to one’s car when wet. And it means the hot weather isn’t too far behind.

I thought “Sakura” was fish in Japanese.

I dunno. I’m not really all that fond of raking leaves. Isn’t that a form of shedding?
