LOTS of wind, so more petals IN Tidal Basin than on trees.
On the way:

I do like going over there, but was quite windy today. Fortunately NOT hot!

(295,929 posts)NOT feeling springlike here now! Raining, low of 31 forecast, saw a forecast with possibility of 'snow showers' earlier!
YESTERDAY was springlike!

(295,929 posts)High in DC Sunday was 84, which was one of the reasons I didn't go to Tidal Basin: I don't like to sweat! and wanted to avoid weekend crowds. I succeeded in avoiding both, high yesterday was 78, but I also missed peak bloom. MAY go anyway, next year!
