peak blooms Mar. 26-30. Guess we need to start thinking about when to meet up.

SuzyView Cream of the Crop  More info | Mar 06, 2013 10:25 | #2 I am on spring break south and won't be able to go until April 1, Monday. Anyone interested in going then? I can't believe spring break is early and the blossoms coincide with that. Suzie - Still Speaking Canonese!

I wonder if the video editors on The Titanic ever went, "Sorry, I can't right now. I'm busy synching the Titanic..."

Don't plan around us, but I think we will probably come. I wonder if the video editors on The Titanic ever went, "Sorry, I can't right now. I'm busy synching the Titanic..."

SuzyView Cream of the Crop More info | Mar 12, 2013 04:48 | #7 I can come April 1 week. Anyone want to meet me by the boats? We can take a cab to anywhere for lunch. Sounds like it will be sooner than later, the blossoms. Suzie - Still Speaking Canonese!

I dunno how accurate this peak bloom prediction is. Hiep Bui Photography | Harrisburg Wedding Photographer

Last I saw in the WP was early April, but I haven't checked the NPS site recently; been a little busy buying and selling residences. Moving day is Mar. 28, so that (Cherry Blossoms) ain't gonna happen for me then. The latest bloom schedule Jon

Which is somewhat odd since their table of milestones shows both green buds and visible florets a couple of days ahead of 2010, when peak bloom occurred Mar. 31. Guess I need to try to graph the events and see what it looks like on average. Jon

I'd like to get back up and spend another day or two. People that know me call me Dan
