With the start of spring on Tuesday, the state has launched a New York Blooms Report, with a weekly map to help New Yorkers identify the best places to see roses, lilacs, tulips, cherry blossoms, and magnolias at attractions across the state.

The reports, compiled weekly using on-location field observations from the arborists, gardeners, and caretakers at over 30 sites throughout the state's 11 vacation regions, are meant to encourage travelers to plan a spring getaway.

The on-site information comes from staff at a variety of botanical and public gardens, farms, state parks and historic sites.

The online reports will be updated every Wednesday afternoon through June, at iloveny.com/blooms.

The state has a $123 billion tourist industry, according to a release from the governor’s office.
