If April showers bring May flowers, what do May flowers bring? Allergies. But aren’t they beautiful? Spring is a time of rebirth often bringing warmer temperatures, new life, and dramatic splashes of every imaginable color in nature. As we head into a new month, flowers are in bloom across many park landscapes. Do you have a favorite flower to stop in smell?
