Spring in Georgia brings azalea and dogwood blooms. They never get old.
A Southern Magnolia Flower So Beautiful That It Looks Fake

Flowers on the Beltline

The Beltline arborteum is an underrated, but seriously appreciated part of the project. In the Spring, I love seeing all the native plants and flowers blooming along the trail. The Westside, with its larger easements, has especially large plantings.
Mountain Laurel Flowering

This mountain laurel was growing on a overlook with a perfect dotted pattern on its white petals.
Catawba Rhododendron Flowering

I get a lot of the rhododendrons mixed up but one easier(?) way for me to just to note when it’s flowering. This guy was a particularly hot pink along the trail.
Roses Blooming

Roses in the neighborhood are the absolute best. Kudos to anyone who plants them along the sidewalk, just far enough to prevent thorns interactions, but close enough to appreciate the color and varietal.
Dwarf Violet Iris Showing Out in the Chattahoochee National Forest

I love the pop of purple color that Irises’ bring to the Southern Appalachians.
Summer Flowers in Seattle’s Kubota Park

These flowers looked like some sort of azalea that surprised me when we got to visit Seattle. These were throughout the Japanese gardens at Kubota Park.
Zinnias!

I love how zinnia flowers are ridiculously easy to plant and enjoy throughout the summer. We got this packet from Southern Seed Exchange.
