Dogwoods & wildflowers blooming yet in Virginia???

We will be in Va (april 8-12) and we were hoping to see some of the dogwoods and wildflowers that I hear so much about in that area...any reports on what blooming, or is it to early to know?

Depends on which part of Virginin, but maybe if it warms up some in the next couple of weeks it'll be blooming. Some of the flowering trees in Richmond area are almost past (the bradford pears in my yard are leafy not flowery) but the dogwoods and redbuds are keeping pretty closed up -- too cold!

In the northern Virginia area (near DC) I always have my relatives come out on Aril 22 to 25 that is the peak of spring greenery and flowers.

Still mostly bare here except for the cherry bloosoms which will come out this weekend.

In Hampton Roads, the Bradford pears are already almost out of bloom, the cherries and plums are just starting, red oaks are budding, forsythia going strong, but no sign of dogwood yet.

The dogwoods started opening this weekend in Williamsburg. The early azaleas started 2 weeks ago. Peak should be in the next 2 weeks.

Toni: Less than a week to go eh? Your timing should be ideal. You should catch the tail end of cherry blossoms and the beginning of everything else. However, that includes peak allergy season too so if you're even the least bit suseptible, bring your meds! Have a wonderful trip if we don't get any more posts from you before that!

Trees still bare in northern Virginia, except for a light green on some of the samller trees. Peak in 2 weeks.

They are currently in full regalia. This entire region just shines in the spring. Come and enjoy!
