Took this picture in Korea last week. Great timing to be over there and see them bloom. They only bloom for two weeks out of the year.

They have these in D.C., too, I think they were a gift from the Koreans. I was there two years ago in March and remember the same blossoming. Beautiful!

"In 1912, the people of Japan sent 3,020 cherry trees to the United States as a gift of friendship."
