Interesting information on this site. Lots of ads, but it's a tourist thing, poke through to find some nice pix, etc. Have fun, Marji

Macon, Ga. Also has a cherry blossom festival every last week of Mar & first of April, with thousands & thousands of Yoshino cherry trees blooming, along with a huge craft Fair & events going on every day of the 2 weeks. It starts with a huge parade.

Thank you Marji - I did know about them being a gift from Japan - perhaps - one of my grandparents realized how important that would be one day - thank you for sharing the site - wished I could have read about the history, too. Hehehe!

That is something! I didnt know that they were a gift from Japan. There are many sites giving information where and when is the best day to go see the cherry blossoms. Here's one of them: http://www.mapple.net/sp_sakura/
Marji, I want to thank you for sharing that with us. How sweet of you. Hugs, Yoriko

Thanks Marji. I was in Washington once when the cherry trees were in bloom. It was georgous

It's lovely Marji! Thanks for the link and PS that is one of my very favorite designs on this site, the Sakura Cherry.;)
