Since we're north of the city, our cherry blossoms start peaking about 3-4 weeks later than those in Washington, DC. We only planted our two trees 3 or 4 years ago, but they've produced massive amounts of blooms this season for our enjoyment. Even the rain and chillier temps of the past two days hasn't dampened (pardon the pun!) their beautiful display of fluffy pink.

Day 112 - Cherry Blossoms, northern style

Gorgeous!
I'm really starting to get into my yard these days, and I'm always looking for ways to pretty it up. I hadn't really considered a cherry tree, but that would look right nice.
If I recall from last year, you have a rhododendron too, don't you? Has it bloomed yet?
I can't remember when ours usually does...seems like it should have by now, but it looks awful. It may not have survived last summer's drought. :(
You know what...I just remembered I took a picture of mine last year and went and looked it up. It was in full bloom on May 4th when I took the picture. There's still time I guess, but it ain't looking good. :(
Beautiful! They remind me of living in Victoria, BC. There were whole streets lined with these. They quickly became my favorite flowering tree.

Stunning shot, Marianne!
