And they're off! (That is, the cherry trees at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden)

The cherries are blooming at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden (BBG), just in time for the start of Hanami this weekend. In addition to those already blooming on Washington Avenue and the parking lot, there are four blooming within the main collection covered by the BBG CherryWatch Blossom Status Map:

• Prunus sargentii 'Fudansakura': one in the Japanese Garden, one near the north end of the Cherry Walk
• Prunus subhirtella 'Autumnalis', near 'Fudansakura' at the north end of the Cherry Walk
  
• Prunus 'Okame', near the south end of the Cherry Walk
