1889. Monet has been in Giverny for six years now. He knows these trees. He's watched them bloom and lose everything and bloom again.
Here how he paints them. They're almost not there. The blossoms are melting into the sky. The whole thing looks like if you blinked it would be gone.
Monet was painting the feeling that everything beautiful is already on its way out. He just wanted to catch it before it left.
