The Brooklyn Botanic Garden has been making lots of news lately. First, there was that stinky plant. Then, a rose bloomed in November. Now this:
It’s January and a cherry tree is blooming!! The temperatures have been so unseasonably high: that tree doesn’t know what the heck to think. It has sprouted thousands of blossoms with spring months away — and winter just beginning.
While cherry trees are early bloomers, this is crazy early for those pretty pinkish white flowers to be taking their place on those Botanic Garden branches.
It’s worth a trip to the gardens. Anyone want to go?

That’s crazy!
When I went to Central Park in December, there were roses in flower. Then, an Italian tourist asked where the roses were. Global warming tourism — “Come see the changing coastline!”
So, uh, “A Tree Blossoms in Brooklyn?”.
