The sculpture is located in the courtyard at US Union Square on North Capitol Street NE. I thought the hummingbirds on the petals were a nice touch.

Says the artist: "Silver leaf with oil and water based paints over fiberglass. I wanted to recreate one of the isolated flowers on the 2021 NCBF poster that I made. Focus in on the massive flower as a “GIFT” to the two hummingbirds in circle as well as to all the admirers and blossom gazers of this most beautiful flower."

This is the time of year for Washington’s wildly popular Cherry Blossom Festival, but unfortunately it has once again been canceled due to the pandemic. The public has been asked not to enjoy the blossoms at the Tidal Basin but instead to view “Art in Bloom,” 26 cherry blossom sculptures painted by local artists and placed in locations throughout DC and adjacent neighborhoods.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly
unsharp.
