From the National Park Service:
“ATTENTION EVERYONE! We have Peduncle Elongation. I repeat, Stage 4: Peduncle Elongation. The cherry blossoms have reached the 4th of 6 stages on the path to Peak Bloom.”
Peak Bloom has been predicted to arrive between March 29 – April 1. Given tomorrow’s 80+ degree day, I wouldn’t be surprised to see that date bumped up a day or two – stay tuned!!
