“In honor of the approaching peak bloom, I wanted to share some of my favorite cherry blossom murals that can be enjoyed all year long or as an addition/alternative to the crowds around the allergy-inducing trees.
My favorite mural in this group is actually on the ground. Across two basketball courts is a giant portrait of MLK Jr. and his “I Have a Dream” quote that includes cherry blossoms, the Washington Monument and shoutouts to DC statehood. Art was done by @Chrispyrate @oheylil and @thehoopbus in 2020. It can be found in Oxon Run Park near Wheeler Rd & Valley Ave SE”
A beautiful portrait featuring cherry blossoms titled “Amanda (Blossom Branch)” was created by @nilsrva in 2018 at Wylie St & 13th St NE
Another great one by @chrispyrate from 2021 featuring his signature cherry blossom florals is at Florida Ave & North Capitol NE
Cherry blossoms adorn an alley door which is directly next to a 2021 mural by @mimithemuralist of RBG, Kamala Harris & Sally Ride 15th St & Duvall Ct SE
Do you know of any other cherry blossom murals in the city? Please share!”
