It seems like the Cherry Blossoms at Brooklyn Botanic Garden just started blooming, but now their map is showing the trees at peak bloom. Brownstoner points to the Garden's Twitter and notes "the recent heat wave has brought out the cherry blossoms slightly ahead of schedule." Last year we talked to the folks at BBG, who told us about the progression of the short viewing season, noting that "different cherries bloom at different times and the timing is all up to Mother Nature."
Cherry blossom viewing season is scheduled to end on May 10th (note that BBG is free on Tuesdays), which means the pretty pink petals adorning all of New York right now will soon vanish. Where have you seen them around?

I've seen beautiful cherry blossoms right here in Astoria. I tried to see them in Riverside Park, but was too early twice. Today was probably the best day to go, but I didn't. I'll go to the BBG on the weekend.
I should have posted these to flickr earlier, but I still have more. I may post some more on Wednesday.

This is one of the many-petaled cherry trees that are my favorite. The blossoms are truly striking.
west 13 street bet 6&7, at least four beautiful trees in full bloom
I want to go out and enjoy these beautiful cherry blossoms but I'm scared that Air Force One might fall on me while the Hipster Grifter is grifting me and giving me swine flu.
Flushing Meadows Park in Queens.
I love that park. So much beauty. And it never gets props.
Thanks, I needed those great images!
