Daffodils doing dandy!

As Chief Blossomologist for the 

Wooster Square Cherry trees, I have

the important honor of holding your

hands down this stroll through 

beauty and happiness.

Let's Make History no Mystery! 

Cherry Blossom History Wooster Square

Our Cherry Blossoms have been 

blooming for 44 years!

(I only have been here since 2006)

We are constantly replacing trees as needed.

Our Sweet Sakuras have a lifespan of

about 30 years under good conditions.

Square's Sakura's still sleeping soundly

So I'm sure some folks have noticed it's

warmer, we are close to Spring and

it was 80 degrees in Washington DC.

Like Best Buddies, Cherry Blossoms Bloomed

Brightly in the DC Basin!

Of course, they didn't all Pop. And

they will be quite confused if it turns cold again.

Remember last year, DC's buds came early

and a snowstorm hit with cold. Blossoms

were held to about 50% of their normal blossoms.

Check out the DC take and Cherry Blossom101

Here in the Wonderful World of Wooster Square,

our weather has been temperate. No signs

of early blossom or any reason for panic.

Right now we are in a Holding pattern, however,

please keep your seat belt fastened, at

times the ride can get bumpy!!

Historic Wooster Square Cherry Blossoms Set to Peak on April 22, 2018!!

How can I be so certain?

Well, going on 6 years of predicting,

cajoling, promoting, explaining

and of course photographing these
funky fickle flowers... 
you get a feeling about this phenomenon!*
*I actually just take pictures everyday, so
that you know exactly what they look like
as they are starting bloom, peak and bust! 

5 Year Time Lapse Hughes Place

Blossom Mathematics

First, a quick Quiz:

Cherry Blossoms...

a. Peak in March, April or May

b. Peak whenever their good and ready.

C. When the Blossom Blogger tells me when they peak.

The Correct Answer? Yes.

(I never was really good in skool)

Peak Hughes Place

Anyone of these events has happened.

They have popped in March and 

stayed as late as May. 

We find a pattern. But they

don't ever follow exactly. 

A cold snap during Peduncle Elongation?

Disaster!

Rains and extreme winds after Peak?

Blossom Snow!

Blossom Blogging Bummer!

one of the Natural Wonders
