While you won't find any cherry blossoms blooming in these photos, they do show evidence that things are happening. Big things. Nature things. Pretty, growing things. Check out the Brooklyn Botanic Garden's Flickr for more photos of what's happening over there. We checked in with them to get a status update on when the cherry blossoms are expected to bloom this year, and will update when we hear back. Currently the map shows no action, but their annual Hanami celebration (typically showcasing the cherry blossoms) begins on April 2nd (and runs through May 1st).
Last year the trees peaked a bit early, so let us know if you spot any pink around town—and don't forget to send us your photos!
UPDATE: Kate Blumm of the BBG tells us that "There is actually one cherry in the first stages of bloom here, not shown on the map because it’s on Washington Avenue, just outside our entrance (but still technically on BBG’s grounds), harbinger of things to come deeper in the Garden!"
