Spring Blossoms for Mom

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.

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.
