With the countdown to the bloom of Washington, D.C.’s beloved cherry blossoms in full swing, the Washington Capitals unveiled a special jersey Tuesday to ring in the iconic pink flowers and celebrate the team’s 50th anniversary.

It's almost that time when grand canopies of pink blossoms burst out in the Seattle area. Here's when most of the blossoms will likely be in full bloom this year.

The National Park Service has announced that peak bloom this year for the signature cherry blossom trees of Washington, D.C., will begin between March 28 and 31.
