What’s Blooming In Raleigh This Spring

March 24, 2016

Its doesn’t take rocket science to look outside and see how beautiful our city is becoming during this time of year.  New businesses are opening, new construction projects are being launched but if you take time to notice the simple things you might just be starstruck by the beautiful trees blooming in the city of oaks this spring. Here’s a few that you might be able to spot driving through our wonderful city.

The first trees that everyone notices in Raleigh’s spring season are the Tulip Magnolias. These trees are easily spotted by their large goblet shaped blooms. These trees produce beautiful pink (or purple) blooms and are the highlight of any drive into downtown Raleigh.

Unique to North Carolina is the Dogwood, North Carolina’s state Flower. The Dogwood blooms midway into the spring time and their blooms stay around for quite some time. The Cornus Florida is most often seen in the southern states; its white petals makes for a very beautiful spring season. The Kousa Dogwood blooms later in the spring and is equally as breathtaking.
