PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- There is no early spring this year.

The rainy and cold weather has delayed the peak bloom for Cherry Blossoms in Washington, D.C.

The peak of the Cherry Blossoms is a highly regarded tradition that garners a lot of anticipation and attention.

Experts say, "the famous flowers will now bloom between March 27th and the 31st."

That's about 10 days later than predicted.
