I'm coming down to DC (from Ottawa) around Easter weekend to visit my fiancée... will the flowers still be up or will they have fallen by then? I've been wanting to see the cherry blossoms but haven't had the chance yet.

Unfortunately after peak, which is expected to happen sometime this week, the blossoms fall off.

The trees at the tidal basin are yoshino trees and they won't be in bloom anymore. Other varieties like the Kanzan trees may still be in bloom, but there's not a single place full of Kanzan trees the way the tidal basin is planted with yoshinos. It's still a very pretty season though.

Sorry but Easter will be way too late this year. They only stick around for a couple of days at peak bloom
