D.C.'s cherry blossoms finally started to show their florets on April 1, making this the first time since at least 1992 that blossom florets have not already been showing. According to the National Cherry Blossom Festival's website, the cherry blossoms finally started showing their florets on Wednesday, an unusually late time as they usually come out in late February and early March. Florets are an indication that the flowers will be in full bloom in 16 to 21 days. Before fully blooming, the florets will extend until flower buds begin to poke out. At this point, peak bloom is about two to three weeks away. But this year, full bloom could be much later than any other year on record.https://climatechangedispatch.com/wp-content/uploads/images_pics7_cherry.jpg
