Blooming Right Now - Northeast Florida

March 18th

Azaleas are in bloom There are a few houses that I made sure to drive by just to see a long line of blossoms under the watchful stand of pines along the road.

I have seen other dogwoods in bloom in our neighborhood, but ours is slow waking up and stingy with tight greenish blooms.

I love this tree. There were so many in our back yard when we moved in, and most were mown over, but this one was saved. It was an experiment. Here it is today, front and center. It is evergreen and has a pleasing form. There are yellow fruit that I have heard are edible, but we haven't tried them yet.



It makes my dogwood, next to it, miserable in comparison.
