Hello, I was planning on visiting the DC and Baltimore area the weekend of April 8th [Friday] to April 10th [Sunday]. Will there be any blossums left? Thank you!
The main bloom is likely to be done by then, but there’s another variety that blooms later, and your timing might be good to catch them. There are fewer of them, but they’re especially pretty. You can find more information on them here.
