Today's GPOD is from Mary Beth Jarrosak on Block Island in Rhode Island. She says, "This weeping cherry tree is on my brothers property on Block Island, and it was given to him by our dad around 20 years ago or so. The photo was taken on the morning of April 24, 2010. It's a beautiful tree and despite once being hit by a car during a high speed police chase it blooms every year with more flowers than the last." Thanks, Mary Beth, for sending in this beautiful photo!

Welcome to the Fine Gardening Garden Photo of the Day blog! Every weekday we post a new photo of a great garden, a spectacular plant, a stunning plant combination, or any number of other subjects. Think of it as your morning jolt of green.

Sign up to get new posts delivered to your inbox each morning so you'll always remember to take a look, or add us to your RSS feed. We look forward to sharing our garden travels with you.

If you think you have a photo that we should share on the Garden Photo of the day, email us. Send hi-res images to mgervais@taunton.com with GPOD in the subject line. We'll only respond if we plan to use your photo.

Thera writes: I think this tree is sooo beautiful. I love the cluster of flowers. Can these trees grow well in Georgia? One of my fravorite fragrances from bath and body works is cherry blossom, I love the smell of it and so my question is does the flowers have a strong sweet smell? Thanks for sharing.
