Description
Small yellow winter blooms cover a small ornamental tree, likely a yellow plum, in Washington DC. Plum trees are one of the few winter flowering trees. Chinese like to bring in flowering plum branches for the Chinese new year which they believe will bring them good luck and fortune for the coming year. The pink and white varieties are more common. but they do have the yellow plum trees in China. The Sackler Museum is an Asian art museum so it's possible that the yellow variety could had brought over from China for exhibition in their Chinese garden.
