The Date is Set

Cherry BlossomsChief flower man in the District of Colombia has set the day and now thousands of visitors are trying to reserve rooms to visit. The cherry blossoms will be best seen on March 30 at 10:46 a.m.! And that’s no joke. Based on this horticultural equation “If Y is the actual bloom date,” he said, then “Y = .37X + 34.11″ this will be the best time to see the blossoms.

I used to live in DC for just under a year and never got to see the blossoms. I saw about everything else but these the city has to offer but the blossoms in bloom. I hear they are great and really changes the way that city looks. I might try to see if I can venture down and take some pictures, but ill have to decide soon if I want a room. Some of the pictures on flickr look awesome. I guess it’s not only about the flowers but there is a whole Japanese (since they gave us the trees) culture fest with food and parades. It might be a good mini vacation.

Additional Information: I found a great site about the cherry blossoms and the events that go on at the washington post
