Cherry Blossoms On The Tidal Basin

The famous trees, a gift from Japan in 1912, signal the coming of Spring with an explosion of life and color surrounding the Jefferson Memorial on the Tidal Basin in a sea of pale pink and white. Exactly when the buds will open is not an easy question to answer, but the National Park Service Regional Horticulturalist  provides updates on the expected blooms which have bee accurate in the past several years. For information on the expected peak of the blooms check the National Park Service link below.  Information about the Cherry Blossom Festival events is also available there.
