Around fifteen years ago, the city planted quite a few trees along this block. Many are scarlet oaks, but some are eastern redbuds (Cercis canadensis), and this is their time to flower:
This winter the city, unless it was the National Park Service, planted two or three at the corner of 16th Street and Arkansas Avenue NW.
I miss redbuds, and always enjoy going south in the spring when they are in bloom--not this year, alas, but others.
