Washington, D.C., may have its spring cherry blossoms, but the Valley has long been known for its fragrant orange blossoms. And as the beautiful pea blossom in our slide show attests, fruit trees aren’t the only edible plants to sport showy flowers; bee-attracting vegetable flowers are often just as alluring. (Click the photo to the left to start the slide show.)

 

This year, check out peach blossoms in the Valley with the Peach Blossom Festival on February weekends at Schnepf Farms (http://schnepffarms.com for more info).
