I’m a sucker for any tourist attraction focused on plants. Not because I really want to be part of a tour group but because I love it when people use their precious free time to appreciate the natural world.

The National Cherry Blossom Festival is in peak bloom right now and is a gentle reminder of the power of plants and how they can represent peace. There’s a Bloom Cam set up, so you can take a minute right now to see how things look around the Tidal Basin.

Gardeners who would like to have a cherry blossom festival of their own will enjoy Pink Snow Showers™ weeping cherry.

Its elegant arching branches are covered with fluffy pink blossoms in spring. What a glorious specimen for a landscape! The dark green foliage shows good resistance to shot hole disease, so it’s attractive throughout the season.

Pink Snow Showers™ Prunus is hardy in USDA 4-8 and grows 35′ tall and 25-30′ wide. Looking for a retailer? Try Fast Growing Trees.
