The Pink Cherry Blossoms are in Full Bloom | Newark, New Jersey
The pink cherry blossoms in Branch Brook Park in Newark, New Jersey are now in full bloom!
We had a weekend of gorgeous weather and they have responded beautifully in an explosion of PINK!
These pink ones are my favorites. They inspire me in so many ways.
They bring joy and beauty to the thousands of visitors who come to see them every year.
Somehow I always think of this song when I see cherry blossoms:
I was humming that #1 song as I visited the lovely flowering trees on Sunday:

Cherry Blossoms in Branch Brook Park | Newark, New Jersey
The cherry blossoms in Branch Brook Park have been a bit slow in blooming this year, due to the very cold and harsh winter we had.
The dark pink ones have been reluctant to bloom, but some of the others are near or getting past their peak bloom.
Hopefully, the dark pink ones will bloom soon.
These photos were taken on Tuesday, April 28, 2015.

The Cherry Blossom Trees are Starting to Bloom | Newark, New Jersey
The cherry blossom trees in Newark’s Branch Brook Park are starting to bloom!
Most of the park is in Newark, but a small portion is in neighboring Belleville. They were late again this year because of the long and harsh winter.
More cherry blossom trees are being planted to replace some old trees and also to increase the amount of cherry blossom trees in the park to over 5,000!
That’s more than Washington, D.C.! As a matter of fact, it is the largest collection of cherry blossom trees in the United States!
The park's design was created by the firm of Frederick Olmsted, who also designed the magnificent Central Park in New York.
This year, the cherry blossom trees are still officially in the “budding” stage, since some still only have buds and some have almost nothing to show yet.
As you can see, some branches have both buds and fully formed flowers on them.
And some trees are nearing their peak bloom.
