Southern Spring, CQJP 2012 April Block
Oh, me. This isn't the end of April, is it. It IS the finish of a flowered block inspired by spring in the south. I'm a native of Iowa. When I moved from there in 1970 to Raleigh, North Carolina, I was delighted with the blooming of shrubs and trees in the spring. Azalea, dogwood, redbud, apple, pear, and cherry blossom. And it goes on all summer with magnolia, crepe myrtle, mimosa. Just plain beautiful. I now live in Maryland, where it is still the south and I am still delighted every spring.
The photo on this block is of the pink dogwood in front of my house. Mine is the the house in the foreground with the big picture window for viewing it. The tree is very old. I don't know how many more years I will have it, so I savor all the more the pink beauties it blooms each spring.

What a beautiful dogwood Bobbi. I can see why you honor it in your block -- I hadn't thought about your lack of color in Iowa before. Really like the redbud tree, the rose bullion flowers in the middle of the buttons and the Dogwood Spray! It's a true celebration.
