It's hard to believe that just a week-and-a-half ago when I went to the Arboretum, it looked like winter there and all I could find in bloom were some snowdrops. This week it's been warm--in fact Tuesday was a record high day in the 80s--and suddenly the blossoms are opening up. Today I saw the group of early cherries near the Forest Hills gate beginning to bloom, carpets of scilla under some trees in the meadow, and magnolias starting to open.
I'll have to go to the Arboretum often in the next few weeks to keep up with all the blossoming.
