Cherry Blossom Time by Mark Smith
While a lot of cherries in the lower half of the Lower Peninsula have already bloomed, cherry blossoms in Michigan’s Cherry Capital of Northwest Lower Michigan are just getting going!
Mark Smith shared the first picture below with me last Thursday from the western side of the Leelanau Peninsula along with a couple recent pics & several more from years past. Cherry blossoms should be great up there for a few weeks at least – follow Leelanau.com for the latest and for sure check out Mark’s Leelanau Landscapes website to view & purchase his work!

They are beautiful. I’m glad that frost didn’t get to them like happened a few years back.

It’s always a better year when it doesn’t!

Yes, hopefully we never have to truck in cherries for the cherry festival and I think some apples were brought in from Washington for all the harvest treats, like apple cider.

They tried to get them to move the National Cherry Festival later. I think last year was one of the few when they had local cherries!
