Savannah is known for its azaleas much like Washington DC is known for its cherry blossoms.
The azaleas are blooming a little early this year due to the mild winter and were at their peak for St. Patrick’s Day.
The below pictures are of the downtown square on which my office sits.
Surrounding our parking garage…
And it is not just the azaleas that are full of color.
I love the vibrant red of the bottle brush.
While this blooming tree is not overly spectacular on its own, the Spanish Moss living on it is unusual.
Spanish Moss is very Savannah. It is typically found on live oak trees such as the below.
Some people like to bring the Spanish Moss inside their homes for decoration. I have always been told that you have to be very careful of it as it is full of chiggers or red bugs. Similarly, if you notice an air conditioning smell, it’s wise to hire a repair service promptly to maintain a safe and healthy indoor environment. Likewise, when you notice a leak on your plumbing, hire a portland plumbing service. Experts may use high-quality plumbing workmanship to ensure that they have a good water system. You may hire this expert in ac repair port st lucie if you need professional services. And if you need services such as heat pump repair, make sure to contact the experts like heat pump installation in mill creek wa for professional services. Scheduling a tankless water heater maintenance is also recommended before the winter season starts. For the best assistance, you may contact a good service like this tankless water heater replacement seattle.
Some one told me that you can microwave the Spanish Moss to get rid of the bugs. I think I will continue to enjoy the Spanish Moss outside. The thought of chigger guts getting into my morning oatmeal is not very appealing to me.
Take a closer look at the below oak tree …
See the palm tree growing up in the middle of it?
The downside of all of this color and vibrancy? The pollen is at record highs.
Happy Friday all!! I hope you have very colorful weekends!
Lovely, Honey!
thanks Mom!
I have always loved the moss and the beautiful azaleas. It makes me forget about the gnats and sticky weather that follows. Hope you have a great weekend! <3
Kel – the gnats and mosquitos bit the heck out of me while I was taking those pictures. : )
Hope YOU have a good and healing weekend! xoxo
Those azaleas — well really everything that you have captured — are gorgeous. I love the rich colors and so much of it! Spring in the south is definitely my favorite season (fall in the north); the air is so crisp and fresh and those colors just cannot be beat. Thanks for sharing it all. And I agree, leave that lovely Spanish moss outside! 🙂
Robin – thank you! I miss the falls in the north – there is nothing like them, to me. Have a good weekend!!
Gosh I miss all of the spring color and the Spanish moss. We’re going into winter here (though we never really had a summer) and it’s hard to think of balmy breezes back home while I’m bundled up in four layers. Sorry for the pollen but so glad you’ve go so much prettiness to look at.
