Winter's Blossoms ~ The First Sign of Spring

Winter in Northern California is relatively mild, so tulip trees and cherry blossoms begin blooming mid-February.  The branches of these trees are beautiful and are sometimes cut for use in floral arrangements. 

Cherry blossoms typically come in three colors: white, pale pink, and deep pink.  The pale pink variety is my favorite. 

   

Whether these delicate blossoms are placed indoors to brighten up a room or left on their trees to reach full maturity, these first signs of spring are absolutely stunning.
