Did something start blooming in DC this week?

[Anonymous]

After feeling lucky all spring that I wasn't getting any allergies, I have been suffering since Monday. Just wondering if any trees or flowers started blooming this week. I live in a residential neighborhood in DC. Thanks!

Op, I’m in the exact same boat. I’ve been tested for allergies and the entire panel came back negative but there’s something out there that always sets me off but it’s never when everyone else is miserable. Who knows?

Thanks for replying! Do you take Claritin or another med?

I think the little leaf lindens are blooming this week downtown. For some reason they have always bothered me more than other trees, which don’t really affect me at all.

crepe myrtle but I don't know if they cause allergies?

OP here, thank you; I have googled those trees and after looking at the image results, I think there is a linden tree on my block -- I can take the long way around. Appreciate the help!

Also, roses. My mom calls her allergy "rose fever."
