Spring Blossoms for
Mom
Silver bell tress, yellow poplars, tulip poplars, dogwoods,
black locust, and hawthorns- tourists that visit the North Georgia Mountains in
spring see the largest number and the most beautiful blooming trees! One of the
first spring trees to flower is the silver bell tree. The silver bell is a
small tree with white bell-shaped flowers
and is sprouting throughout the southern Appalachian region. Another flower that is apparent in the
springtime is the yellow or tulip poplar and is one of the tallest hardwoods in
this range. An additional beauty is the
showy white or pink flowered dogwood tree which bloom throughout May.
Dogwood is considered by many gardeners to be one of the most beautiful trees
with sweeping branches that rise slightly at the ends. Be on the lookout for
black locust with sweet-smelling white flowers as well. Finally, hawthorns are
a sight to behold with clusters of small white flowers.
