Reason: Disclaimer: I don't think we need a bunch of plant taxonomy tags, that sounds like a nightmare.

However, it seems like we do generally tag plants by genus and occasionally species, and these are all species in the genus Prunus. Specifically referring to the tree blossoms rather than the fruits or the trees themselves.

I think they share enough similarities with each other that an umbrella tag would be useful. But if others disagree I'm not super attached to the idea or anything, just thought it might be a good idea.

(...I don't know why I've picked up flowers as a tag project but here we are I guess.)

Actually, I wonder if maybe some families warrant tagging, as some of them are quite large and it might be a better idea than just directly implying them all to flower.

I don't think plants should have taxonomical tags anywhere near the level we have for animals, but there are some groupings where it might be a good idea.

I was mainly thinking of Amaryllidaceae and Asteraceae as they're huge families with flowering plants that have a lot in common.
