WASHINGTON — The iconic cherry blossoms that circle the Tidal Basin in Washington, D.C., reached peak bloom Monday, according to the National Mall.
Peak bloom occurs when 70% of the Yoshino cherry blossoms are open and typically lasts several days, according to the National Park Service.
Each year, crowds flock to the blossoms, which share a landscape with the Thomas Jefferson Memorial, Washington Monument and the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial."If you live in Washington, D.C., it's a beautiful sign that spring is here and that we made it through a long winter," he said."Really, over the last 110 years, cherry blossoms become the city's grandest kind of tradition.
Its president, Diana Mayhew, said just like the cherry blossoms, the annual festival represents hope, renewal and spring. The planting of cherry trees in Washington D.C. began in 1912 as a gift of friendship from the people of Japan to the people of the United States, according to the National Cherry Blossom Festival website.
