APRIL BLOSSOMS

THEY JUST KEEP COMING.

Photographs of some of Portland's exhuberant April blossoms
Heron Haus' own azaleas
 
Portland's ubiquitous ornamental cherry
 
More azaleas, purple this time

Tulips and daffodils

These are leaves, not blossoms.
Don't let the color fool you.

Not exactly in the Japanese Garden,
but very nearby

All within a short walk of Heron Haus

Magnolia in full bloom

AND THE RHODODENDRONS AREN'T EVEN IN YET.
