Blossom Mathematics, Theory and Floral Flapdoodle.
We interrupt the normal jovial blog posts for
a serious special sakura study!
Followed by current photos
predictions & predilections on
our precious pink pretties!
Although copied and pasted from a
previous post here are the
Six Stages of a Cherry Blossom.
(please follow closely. The complexity is large.
Not suitable for young children,
or those with a heart condition.
Portions are not edible and are
edited from the NPS website. Photos are all
from Wooster Square.)

That's all well and good in the past,
but what about today, March 18, 2019?
See the green peaking through?
Our tree that usually blooms first on Hughes Place.
You can see that there is a large branch that has broken.
(oh the arboristic agony!)
Still pretty snug as buds in the club.
Pop goes spring!

And tomorrow!
Pink Power!
So, when will Wooster Square's
Cherry Blossoms Peak?
We have to wait and see. Washington DC's
are right on Schedule to
Peak around April 6th.
That would historically make ours peak around Easter Sunday or
Monday the 22nd.
Heat, wind, cold, rain and plain stubbornness
are some of the variable we need to watch
for the next few days.

See you in line at Pepe's
or
