A quote from the first link:

"Momo-no-Sekku used to be held on the 3rd of March according to the Lunar Calendar, though today it is actually not until early April that the peach blossoms begin to bloom, and that is how the name of this festival came about."
Dolls Festival episode from Akira Kurosawa’s “Dreams” shows the link between dolls and cherry blossoms.
