Let the power of Japanese tradition bloom in your renders with the Sakurakai Background and Overlay set.


  • Time stood still,
    When he smiled at me
    In the tender breeze,
    and cherry blossoms
    Danced around us liked
    Love notes on confetti.

Sakura, also known as cherry blossoms, are a symbolic flower of the spring, a time of renewal, and the fleeting nature of life. Their life is very short - they are here one moment and gone the next. After their beauty peaks, at around two weeks, the blossoms start to fall. During this season in Japan, people like to have Hanami or cherry blossom parties with colleagues, friends, and family.

The sakura represents the brilliance, fragility and transience of life. Tied to the Buddhist themes of mortality, mindfulness, love, and living in the present, Japanese cherry blossoms are a timeless metaphor for human existence. Blooming season is powerful, glorious and intoxicating, but tragically short-lived — a visual reminder that our lives, too, are fleeting - and to treasure what you hold dear in this momement, for in the next it can all disappear.

Why don't we marvel at our own passing time on earth with the same joy and passion? Why do we neglect to revel in life when it can end at any moment, or in the grace surrounding us everywhere: our family, friends, love, a stranger's smile, a child's laugh, new flavors on our plate, or the scent of green grass? It is time, cherry blossoms remind us, to pay attention.

You're very welcome. Glad you like them. :) These are both gorgeous texture add-ons for the Bellflower and easy to work with. And you can never be wrong with kitties and flowers and especially butterflies (though my girls prefer moths to butterflies; the latter taste icky:sick: ).

@NapalmArsenal are you still looking at getting your growing up thoroughbred and catdracula into poser?
Yes possibly, but .... would be willing to give the files to someone if they wanted to do the conversion for a 50/50 split? I'm a little busy atm with spring stuff and my IRL gardens Veggie and Flower.

Banner copy.jpg

Bring the beauty and power of Passion Storm for Lisa's Botanicals Tulipsto your runtime! Compatible with Poser 10+ and DAZ Studio 4.9+
Click on the image to preview or purchase.


I hear your thunder calling,
from a distant sky
I want to feel I've known this,
for 1000 lives....
When the heavens are falling,
And I see the light
Taken from my slumber,
Bring me back to life.


I see lightning when I look in your eyes,
It covers me when there's no where to hide, and
it pulls me into your untamed sky.


-Digital Daggers-

Harness the awesome power, heavenly electrostatic charge, and ravishing passion of a spring lightning storm in your renders and let your garden become thunderstruck! Passion is ambition that is materialized into action, to put as much heart, mind, body, and soul into something as is possible. Passion Storm textures can super charge your renders like a lighting strike, and electrify your creative spirit to chase the lightning across the canvas.

These textures use a nicely blended storm color palette in magentas and cloudy sky blues, with a minimal hint of reddish purple to blue undertones that can be used to create a highly detailed style in your renders. They look fabulous paired with Dark Embrace and Gothic texture sets.

Included are three new tulip textures, one stamen texture, two leaf textures, and a parrot-fanged tulip variety petal shape transmap, along with bump, displacement, & specular mapping created from high quality photo materials. Presets are included for DAZ Studio Iray & 3DL, and Poser Superfly (requires Poser 11+) & Firefly render engines.

Gorgeous NA. Then again your updating of Lisa's wonderful flowers has always had me in awe.
You know you are part of the reason I can do this right!! =) You were my first Beta tester!! LOL You are the one and Lisa and Alisa that taught me a great deal about how things go. So my hat's off to you, and thank you!! Still got some more to go. Doing the easier ones first for now. Daffodils ..... the Poser version is going to be like the Tulips a little drawn out because there are more than one model, but It will get there. Need to do the Fairy Flowers too. Bells next though finalizing the mats on them.

My pleasure, because your first sets had me using some of Lisa's flowers again, which I hadn't used in years. :D
