These delicate pink and white flowers, primarily belonging to the Yoshino cherry tree, bloom for a short period, typically between the last week of March and the first week of April. The exact dates vary annually, depending on weather conditions and temperatures. The history of D.C.'s cherry blossoms dates back to 1912, when Tokyo, Japan, gifted 3, 000 cherry trees to the United States as a symbol of friendship. These trees were planted around the Tidal Basin, with the first two saplings planted by First Lady Helen Taft and Viscountess Chinda, the wife of the Japanese ambassador. The annual National Cherry Blossom Festival, a multi-week-long event, celebrates the blooming of these trees and the enduring friendship between the United States and Japan. This highly anticipated festival includes a wide range of cultural activities, performances, and exhibits, culminating in the spectacular Cherry Blossom Parade, which showcases colorful floats, marching bands, and a variety of performers. Visitors to the Tidal Basin during peak bloom are rewarded with breathtaking views of the cherry blossoms framing national monuments such as the Jefferson Memorial, the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial, and the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial, creating a unique and unforgettable experience.
