Went to MoBot today and the weeping cherries are just about to peak. The other cherry trees are opening but won’t peak until this weekend, the 11th-12th. None of the blossoms have started falling yet. That’s my fave time of the season; the time when the blossoms rain down and the trees are still full.

I visited the Missouri Botanical Garden today and spoke with someone about the sakura blooming. The new date for St. Louis’s blossoms is for next weekend, the 11th of April.

In Los Angeles, the blossoms have been done for quite a while. The ones we have out here bloom close to early March normally.

The National Cherry Blossom Festival began last Saturday in Washington DC. Apparently it's timed during the beginning of blossoming, since when I went there on Sunday, the majority of cherry blossom trees are already blooming. It lasts till April 13th. I didn't really spend much time stopping to watch the flowers, but I walked around the Tidal Basin, where the trees surrounded the edge.
