Thanks to Nikki for sending last week: “Ume (plum blossoms) are in bloom at the Kennedy Center! The sakura (cherry blossoms) around the Tidal Basin are still budding but these beauties are a sight to behold and smell lovely. I didn’t know the difference between these two types of trees until researching why this little patch was in bloom so early. I thought I would share with anyone else who would like to take a walk to see them.” Read More

Are any local florists open in DC and doing deliveries? @PoPville
