That bitter taste tells you it is indeed a cherry.

They don't have any particular fragrance, but the vibe - wow, the vibe. Walking underneath the bowers of flowers will cure just about any mood. Wish you could walk there with me. It could happen some day. It could!Reya Mellickerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13076092659507965666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607471777855707790.post-42297881311659211152012-03-21T10:11:01.943-04:002012-03-21T10:11:01.943-04:00WOW SENSATIONAL!

(sorry caps lock); so hard to put a forward date on natural events but they looks so fresh and explosive right now.

It's so true. There is something soothing about just standing underneath a cherry tree in full bloom.<br /><br />Did you know that a park called Branch Brook (in all places Newark NJ) has over 2,000 cherry trees/28 different species in all? They are early too and are in bloom this week. We go every year! <br /><br />I might just try to eat one when we go on Friday!Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05875008154587045790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607471777855707790.post-57899519376994719832012-03-21T06:08:32.266-04:002012-03-21T06:08:32.266-04:00The last time I went to see the cherry blossoms wa...The last time I went to see the cherry blossoms was about ten years ago, and I'm pretty sure it was the end of March. So yeah, this does seem a wee bit early for the peak.<br /><br />Eating the blossoms -- what an interesting urge!

Atlantis has no such concentration of cherry trees, and while our early spring has been very pretty, it has now spiraled into a yellow, pollen-coated haze. <br /><br />My theory about the bitter blossoms? Well, it takes a true winter dormancy to develop sweetness - the sugars, as it were.kbrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10563224602453410284noreply@blogger.com
