From the National Park Service:
“It’s happening! Small green buds are on the Yoshino cherry trees, marking the first of six stages on the way to peak bloom.
The blossoms are coming! Our experts are carefully finalizing their peak bloom projection. Next week (Wednesday, March 1), we’ll join our partners at the @CherryBlossFest & the Trust for @TheNationalMall to make the big announcement.”
STAY TUNED.
