Cercis canadensis 'Alba' - Springfield, MA©Georgene A. Bramlage, June 2007
Here is a list of some of my spring articles and blogs - some current, some from previous years. They include my favorite trees like redbuds and witch hazel, annuals like petunias, perennials like the new breed of echinacea (cone flower), and spring-flowering bulbs.
