dcmetroThe cherry trees have started blooming! Peak bloom for the Tidal Basin is predicted to be April 1-4, but cherry trees of various sorts continue to bloom for at least two weeks both around the Basin and elsewhere in the city.
I'm a fan of the cherry blossoms, so I wrote a post in my journal last year with quite a few links (mainly the history of the trees, an overview of the National Park Service information, maps, and Washington Post coverage). I updated those links today and made another post with some new links, including the Washington Post's audio tour and their latest list of non-touristy places to see the blossoms. Those places often have different bloom dates, so if you miss the trees at the Tidal Basin, you'll have a second chance.
If anybody's got recommendations for other things to include, let me know – I'd love to have them.
