Question: Which flowers famous in Japan and Washington, D.C. can also be found blooming across Ohio in the springtime?

Answer: Cherry Blossoms. Japanese cherry trees that bloom with pink and white flowers were brought to the nation’s capital by Ohioan and First Lady Helen Herron Taft over a century ago. Now, hundreds of cherry trees can be seen in springtime across the Buckeye State at places like the Ohio Statehouse and Carillon Historical Park in Dayton.
