There is nothing quite like flowering trees that herald the beginning of spring.
Apple Tree Blossoms
Whether it the blossoms that cover your favorite fruit tree.
Texas Mountain Laurel
Or the grape-bubblegum scented purple flowers of the Texas Mountain Laurel.
Magnolia Tree
Maybe it is the overly large flowers of the Magnolia tree.
Desert Willow
The trumpet-shaped flowers of the Desert Willow attract both people and hummingbirds.
Jacaranda
The lush tropical flowers of the Jacaranda tree are lovely.
But I must admit, that my favorite is the yellow-flowering Palo Verde in my back garden…
'Desert Museum' Palo Verde
