Spring Flowers
Spring arrived last week. Some of us have flowers, others will in the next couple of months, but sometime in the Spring, everyplace will show out their native flowering beauty. I spent the first decade or so of my life in North Carolina, which absolutely explodes in the spring with azaleas and dogwoods. Mature azaleas in North Carolina are large bushes that flower with pink to purple hued blossoms of the most delicate and gossamer like kind. The bushes grow in groups, so that when they are in bloom it looks like great, fluffy purple and pink clouds. And not far overhead the dogwoods bloom similarly delicate flowers in white with a light pink shading.
I later lived in Maryland, where the spring show was not quite as spectacular, but much more welcome after the bleak and gray winter. Now I live in Texas, in the part which is dry and western enough that azaleas grow only with difficulty and not very big anyway, but we have something that we are proud of (which kind of goes without saying - if it’s in Texas then Texans are proud of it). And that thing is Bluebonnets. Wild flowers of many kinds pop in fields all over central Texas in the spring, but the most beloved of all is the bluebonnet.
And finally, here’s a little flower silliness.
