Blossoms by the Park

The best places to see the blossoms of spring varies from year to year, so it’s always worth visiting your local botanical garden or park to see which flowers are in bloom. This can help you plan your visit and save money on transportation costs while catching a glimpse of the flowers that are in full bloom.

In Portland, Oregon, the rhododendrons and azaleas in Descanso Gardens are a show-stopping display of color every spring. These rare plants are among the most prized in the world, and when they are in bloom, you can experience their beauty firsthand.

This 9-acre garden in Southeast Portland is home to thousands of rhododendrons, including some of the world’s most rare species. Each year, the 2,500 flowering rhododendron and azalea plants wake up from their winter nap, revealing a rainbow of colors for you to admire.

There are also a variety of other flowers in the park to look out for during your visit, like the tulips, daffodils, crocuses and irises that are just starting to pop open.

Some of the blossoms in the UK are only available during certain months, so it’s always a good idea to consult your local florist or nursery for advice about which blossoms are in bloom at your destination. Some of the most common are the daffodils and tulips, which can be seen in parks and along forest paths from February to May, while some of the more elusive blossoms include the St John’s-wort, which will only appear at certain times of the year, and the lupines, which typically only bloom when temperatures are warm enough.

During the bloom, be sure to stay on the path as some of the flowers will die if you touch them. They’ll be unable to spread their seeds, which means less blooms the following year.
