Spring is at hand.
The flowering apricots have been spectacular this year. They are almost finished blooming in the Cape Fear Botanical Garden and in my garden, too.
A few Asian magnolias with basketball-sized, fragrant flowers are blooming now and many more should be open during the next two weeks.
A dozen spectacular Taiwan cherries are in bloom in my garden with very bright fuchsia pink to red colors.
Five chinese witch hazels are blooming here now and one has already finished.
I d like you to visit and see them all, especially the magnolias. Give me a call to arrange a tour. My address and phone number are at the bottom of this column. Most people have never seen these winter bloomers in flower. I don t know how I would survive the winter without the excitement, color and fragrance they provide.

Prejudice, racism, violence, social injustice; these are topics steeped in emotion and identity, and conversations about them can be challenging.
Sonny Kelly is happy to accept that challenge.
“Communication builds bridges,” he says. “It’s the beginning of every solution that we need.
“Change, just like any social relationship, is a process and not a product.”
Kelly is a dynamo of optimism and hope. He teaches communications classes at Fayetteville Tech and he writes and performs shows that confront racial injustice and, more importantly, a path forward.
