I can't speak for the others but I'm ready for spring. In particular I can't waite until the District's Yoshino cherry trees burst into action. Thank heavens they are only a couple of weeks away. The buds are this beautiful shade of blush and open soft white. After the Yoshinos the pinker Kwanzan cherries put on a show. During this time the whole city and surrounding area takes on a rosy glow. That combined with the unique layout of the District and each March/April it is like Springtime in Paris, only in the United States.

BTW, my favorites are the weeping cherries.

Harry, hang in there, it won't be long--and don't be upset (I know you really aren't.)

I have no idea of what these trees are. I can tell you that the fragrance was overwhelming--like someone had put on too much perfume inside a closed space.

Once you leave the city limits here the countryside is largely orchards of all types as you head east and north.
