Colors of spring

Colors of spring

Every day now, spring’s palette evolves. Though we cherish the drama of fall’s wild flame-like flair, spring’s festive color scheme holds equivalent charms.

Buds on bushes and trees are swelling and bursting like slow-sizzling firecrackers across our region. The brick blush of redbuds and cloudy swirls of serviceberry spark the landscape. Sunny shouts of the yellow-budded plants and the electrifying lime glow of those leaves, destined to be darker greens, compliment the orange, sienna and peach tones enlivening bare silhouettes of branch and limb.
