Cherry-blossom gift for X-mas

Neiman Marcus X-mas Catalog
Inspired by the ancient Japanese reverence for that perfection of nature, it is called simply Blossom...Blurring the lines between interior design, art, and fashion...ts budding tree branch frame is styled in steel with 200 gently sequenced twinkling LED lights intermingled among the perfect mix of pink Swarovski(r) crystal cherry blossoms. The effect is mesmerizing. Don't take our word for it; order one and see for yourself.

Better yet, how about? ... Image
"his and hers" item in the form of a pair of robots for $400,000. The robots can sing, leave messages for the kids and display dance moves that may remind some people of the wooden style of former Vice President Al Gore.

Japan's cherry blossom season to last all year

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

I understand that wood would love a flower. But why only wood?
