Now Winter's Gone

Regardless of what the calendar says, for me, Spring is here when the Bradford Pear trees start to bloom... Glad now winter's gone Bradford Pear greets each new day Gaily dressed for spring

Nature never fails, aesthetic eyes with penchant for the evergreen always . A blessed and blissful read

lovely poem, jim, but i just googled this tree (never heard of it before) and found out that, although it looks beautiful, it has an offensive odor. is that true?

Thanks, Ilene. I saw this tree for the first time when I moved to Missouri, in 2003. Apparently they don't have them in Texas. i have never noticed any odor, and they are all over town here.
