We’re not quite into April yet, but Spring has officially sprung here in Asheville. The landscape is punctuated with the blooms of cheerful daffodils and the brilliant yellow sprays of forsythia. Creeping phlox in vibrant shades of purple and pink cascade down the hillsides and redbuds dapple the forests. And this is just the beginning of the show. Dogwood flowers with their delicate blooms in pink and white aren’t far behind. Each year these trees and perennials have their 15 minutes of fame and then fade quietly into the background until their next stunning performance. Coming upon the heels of winter with most trees still bereft of leaves, I find the riot of color extra intense and oh so welcome. Some of our friends at Etsy also have spring blooms top of mind.
