Semi-Finals of our Blossom Bracket
The semi-finals of our unique, peak D.C. version of March Madness is here! With two weeks of voting under our belt, we’ve whittled down the competition to find the best bloom in town! Let’s see who made it to the semi-finals:
-
- Yoshino Cherry | Prunus x yedoenis
-
- Weeping Cherry | Prunus Subhirtella var. pendula*
Coming right out of the gate is a tough contest is between the Yoshino Cherry, the Tidal Basin beauty, and the striking Weeping Cherry. Who will win – ole reliable or its smaller, visually stunning cousin? Cast your vote!
-
- Shirofugen Cherry | Prunus serulata “Shirofugen” *+
-
- Black Cherry | Prunus serotina+
The second contest is between the pillowy layers of the Shirofugen Cherry and the showy white flowers of the native Black Cherry. Cast your vote!
Now that we have our semi-finalists, be sure to vote in the finalists! My guess is that it all comes down to Yoshino and Black Cherry. Only you can make that happen by VOTING HERE!
