How to catch cherry blossoms

Firstly, you'll need to start hoarding cherry blossoms. You can catch them with your net, just make sure to be facing them - the big pink petals - just as you would a bug.

You will find Animal Crossing: New Horizons cherry blossom recipes in balloon presents - red, blue, yellow balloons rather than the striped bunny day balloons - that you can find soaring over your island. 

Balloons spawn every five minutes (on the minutes that end in a four or a nine for that matter) so keep your ears peeled.
