Cherry Blossom Lingo: flower clouds

I previously introduced the term "sakura clouds" 桜雲（ōun) , but there is also another, more generic term, that describes cherry blossoms that are so dense they look like clouds. And that is a cloud of blossoms (lit. flowers) 花の雲 hana‑no‑kumo.

"A cloud of blossoms" refers to any scene where blossoms are so abundant that they resemble clouds. It is a slightly more general and flexible term than "oun" which specifically describes cherry blossoms. Whereas "hana no kumo" incorporates other blossoms (plum / peach) and flowers too. However, in modern society it is mostly used for cherry blossoms.

While "oun" often refers to a landscape-scale phenomenon, "hana no kumo" is less tied to scale or season's peak. "Oun" is more poetic, whereas "hana no kumo" is more descriptive. Have you seen any clouds of cherry blossoms this year?
