Flower Delivery: Cherry Blossoms Guide, Art, & March Download 🌸

March always feels like a quiet turning point. The light shifts. Mornings get softer. Branches that looked completely bare a few weeks ago start hinting at green again.

It’s the month when winter slowly loosens its grip and the first signs of spring show up in the smallest ways — a flower pushing through the soil, longer afternoons, and of course, the first cherry blossoms.

This month’s download is inspired by that transition: delicate flower prints, a cherry blossom drawing, and a guide to catching peak bloom in Washington, DC.

March Download

For this month’s download, I created a set of bucket list activities to tackle this spring

A few ideas for using them:

• Print and frame them for a quick seasonal refresh

• Make it your iphone or desktop background for a bit of whimsy

• Add them to a journal or planner spread

• Tape them to a wall or workspace for a little burst of color

Sometimes the smallest visual change — a new print, a new color palette — can shift the whole mood of a space.

A Trip to the Cherry Blossom 🌸

Cherry blossoms are one of the most recognizable signs that spring has truly arrived. Their soft pink petals appear almost overnight and disappear just as quickly.

That fleeting beauty is part of what makes them so special. This month’s print is a Cherry Blossom take on the classic Roman Holiday.

A Quick Guide to Cherry Blossom Season in Washington, DC

If you’re anywhere near the area, cherry blossom season in Washington, DC is one of the most beautiful times of the year.

Thousands of cherry trees surround the Tidal Basin, creating a soft pink ring around the water when they bloom.

When is peak bloom?

Peak bloom is when about 70% of the blossoms are open. In most years, this happens sometime between late March and early April, though it can vary depending on weather.

Once peak bloom starts, the flowers usually last about 4–7 days before petals begin to fall.

Best spots to see the blossoms

If you’re planning a visit, these areas are especially beautiful:

• The Tidal Basin (classic views of the monuments)

• The National Mall

• The Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial

• Jefferson Memorial
