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.
