Mid-March Spring Time Flowers

Puffs of white flowers cover the slender branches of the laurel cherry (Prunus caroliniana).
Wild geranium (Geranium maculatum) flowers are light pink and low to the ground. They are growing well with blue phlox, Christmas fern, and a young red buckeye.
Walking through campus you will see that some azaleas are already in full swing. Our yellow-flowered azalea shrubs (Rhododendron austrinum) are preparing for a dazzling display this coming week. They are called 'yellow-flowered'; however, in the ground of the arboretum, they are 'orange-flowered' and produce a delightful aroma. Don't miss it!
