Is Gwangyang Maehwa Plum Bloom happening right now?

As of today, out of season, returns ~February. Earth Exhibit tracks the live conditions and flags it the moment it is on.

Each year the Gwangyang basin in Jeollanam-do fills with blossoms of Prunus mume, creating long, planted avenues and riverside corridors of white and pink flowers.

The display is one of Korea's earliest large-scale flower seasons and is anchored by the city-run Gwangyang Maehwa Festival and ancillary viewing routes along the Seomjin River.
