It seems like the Cherry Blossoms at Brooklyn Botanic Garden just started blooming, but now their map is showing the trees at peak bloom. Brownstoner points to the Garden's Twitter and notes "the recent heat wave has brought out the cherry blossoms slightly ahead of schedule." Last year we talked to the folks at BBG, who told us about the progression of the short viewing season, noting that "different cherries bloom at different times and the timing is all up to Mother Nature."
Cherry blossom viewing season is scheduled to end on May 10th (note that BBG is free on Tuesdays), which means the pretty pink petals adorning all of New York right now will soon vanish. Where have you seen them around?
