The Washington DC cherry blossoms are in full bloom, and loaded with Spring beauty. National Geographic has put together wonderful cherry blossom photo album highlighting some of the beautiful blooms.
Did you know that the trees were a gift to the United States from Japan in 1912 to symbolize the friendship between the two countries?
National Geographic’s website has the full history of the blossoms from the first commemoration of the donation to the maintenance of the trees today.
