Well, I’ll be damned. Here I’ve been thinking about planting a dogwood in my front yard to remind me of home, and all along I’ve had a reminder of DC right outside my kitchen door: a Japanese Cherry Tree!
I really had no idea what it was until this week when the first blooms started to pop, and then just to double check I looked it up on a few websites. Sure enough, I have a Weeping Japanese Cherry, and by this time next week it will probably be ablaze with blooms… parade plans to be announced later.
