We have many kinds of flowering trees in the south, from the white Bradford pear tree which turns into leaves and the Crepe Myrtle that has gorgeous bright pink flowers. These remind me of the northern lilacs.

I've tried, with a special cold hardy type called April Rose but I don't think it is going to make it, after three years in our yard.Alanahttp://ramblinwitham.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28321251.post-10974177058730698342018-03-07T06:10:29.397-05:002018-03-07T06:10:29.397-05:00For several years, my husband and I would travel t...For several years, my husband and I would travel through North Carolina in early to mid March on the way to Charleston South Carolina via either Mt. Airy or Raleigh. It would be so wonderful to leave upstate New York and arrive in a place where spring blooming had begun. But, although I have been through Charlotte several times (last time last August!) I have never stopped there or in Davidson. We need to change that. North Carolina is a beautiful state and we probably won't be traveling again this year, but one never knows.
