This is a solar term for around five days starting today, which means “Peach buds start to swell and open little by little”.  “Flowers smile” means flowers bloom, and in the haiku society, “mountains smile” is one of the seasonal words for spring, which means trees and plants in the mountains start budding.  I think both are colorific expressions.

今日から5日間ほどの七十二候で、桃のつぼみがほころび、花が咲き始める頃との意味です。花が咲くことを「花が笑う」と表現し、春の季語の「山笑う」は芽吹き始めた山の形容を形容する言葉で、どちらも華やかな表現だと思います。
