The most notable aspect about Spring are the beautiful flowers that bloom. The warm weather and occasional rain are perfect for growing flowers at home or even going out and seeing all of them beginning to bloom.
Spring is a really pretty season, so what are the top five most popular Spring flowers?
*Daffodils: Of course, one of the most popular Spring flowers is the beautiful, yellow Daffodil. Daffodils are fast-growing, and their native range is China, Japan, Northern Africa, etc.
*Tulips: When Spring comes to mind, tulips are one of the first flowers to bloom. Tulips have distinctive, bulbus petals that range in numerous colors, besides true blue. Tulips are part of the Lily family and can grow from 4-to-28 inches tall.
*Hyacinth: Grape Hyacinth (Muscari) are great flowers to have in the garden. These gorgeous flowers are best when planted in the Fall as they will usually start to bloom in early-to-mid Spring. They are native to Europe, the Mediterranean, and Central Asia and are a part of the Asparagus family.
*Crocus: The Crocus Sativus (Saffron) is a tiny, short flower with purple to lavender colors. This flower not only adds a great look to the garden but is also used to dye fabrics and to flavor food. Due to the flower’s versatility, the Saffron is one of the more expensive and labor-intensive flowers on the list. They are native to southern regions of mainland Greece.
*Lily of the Valley: This flower is known for its unique, wilted look and bell-shaped petals. It is part of the Asparagus family and can grow to about 10 feet tall. Despite its innocent appearance, it is invasive in some states due to the large colonies in which it grows.
No matter if you are planning on growing your own flowers or just going out to look at them, flowers are always the highlight of Spring. They are beautiful and a great sight to see after a dark and dreary Winter.
Hopefully, the saying is true: April showers do indeed bring May flowers.
