DC in bloom
For those who are horticulturally minded and enjoy DC in bloom, this weekend is THE weekend to come into the city. Because of the exceptionally mild winter and our apparent leap from autumn into summer, everything is in bloom at once. This is one of those rare times when you will see bulbs that normally bloom during the second half of February or first half or March blooming at the feet of trees and shrubs that normally don't bloom until the second half of March, or April, or early May. Near Union station, the air is heady with the scent of magnolias while gazing at the weeping cherries.
Yes, the cherries are in bloom. Crazy.
Reminds me a lot of Wilmington, NC. An explosion of colour with everything in bloom at once, and then 11 months of green.
Cheers.
