FAMOUS CHERRY BLOSSOMS EARLY THIS SPRING

Washington’s famous Japanese cherry blossoms reflected the coaxing warmth and moisture of mid-March by blossoming a full 2 weeks earlier than usual. They were opening up rapidly on Friday, March 29, and by Sunday, the last day of the month, were in full glory. As a rule, they do not reach their climax until about mid-April.
