March Blooms
March 2010
Grants Pass, Oregon |
|
|
March brought the blossoming of trees and shrubs all around Grants Pass. Here are some shots! |
Happy Trio
This colorful array of red-tipped photinia and pear, flanked by a cedar, is in bloom just down the road. It is an eye-catching combination!

 |
Red-tipped photinia bushes are ubiquitous in Grants Pass. They have green leaves, but the new growth is blazing red, the same color as a poinsettia. Sometimes the new growth blocks out the green altogether!

 |
The forsythia are in bloom:
 |
 |
And so are the cherry trees. The trees themselves are beautiful:
 |
 |
And so are the blossoms!
 |
 |
(Did you notice the stamens have upside down hearts on the end?!)
Cherry petals even look pretty on the ground. Check out these shots!

Blossoms reach for the sky...
 |
 |
 |
They color the world:
 |
 |
Did you know that pussy willows bloom?
So does this Camellia:
Remember those frozen Oregon Grapes on the Hello, Jack Frost page?
 |
 |
Pear blossoms are lovely:
 |
 |
And so are magnolias!
 |
 |
 |
I love the light in this one:
These evergreens are not blooming, but they are so exotic-looking, I wanted to include them!

Happy March Blossoms to you! May your world be in bloom, too!
