Garden Variety made a valiant attempt to see Washington's cherry blossoms while on vacation last week, but you can't see much stuck in traffic.
We never even got close. And it wasn't even the weekend!
Thank goodness for Baltimore Sun photographer Algerina Perna, who made it to the Tidal Basin and brings us these images.

Now she will be writing about those gardens - and yours - here on Garden Variety.

The cherry blossoms around the lake in Druid Hill Park are just as lovely, and less crowded.
You are absolutely right! --Susan

You honestly thought you could drive down to that area? Okay, I live in PG County so I am well aware of the gridlock on this end of the State. However, I would always recommend to people to never attempt to drive into DC. It is too annoying. You want to drive to an outlying Metro station & go in from there.
I shoulda!--Susan

Working your way through the traffic and crowd to see the blossoms is still worth the effort. I saw the blossoms for the first time on April 3rd. It was crowded but everyone was in such a wonderful mood because of the gorgeous weather and the lovely blossoms.
