Date of Sojourn: March 13, 2018

Location: National Arboretum

Janet and I took advantage of an unseasonably warm March day to visit the USDA National Arboretum. A few early native wildflowers in bloom, along with early cherries, magnolias, red buds, and other (mostly non-native) shrubs. Warm weather in February and early March lead to early blooming – followed by freezing temperatures in that turned many of the magnolia and camelia flowers brown.

Here’s a sample of what we saw….
