The cherry blossom aka Sakura is one of my favourite flowers. It smells so nice, it's absolutely beautiful and lots of paintings/poems are about this one particular flower.

Cherry blossoms only bloom in spring for a couple of days and then they fall. So you have to wait until next spring to see them in bloom again.
This is why this flower is a symbol for fallen warrios and of rebirth, the cycle of life, also femininity, purity, light & beauty.
