Spring is a beautiful time to visit Niagara. The snow is usually gone by the end of March and by the middle of April there are tulips and daffodils everywhere. In May the peach, pear, cherry and apple orchards explode with apricot trees leading the way. The magnolia trees bloom in May as well as the lilacs. I'm a bit of a tree nut so you'll find pictures of trees in bloom here as well. Most of the following photos were taken in Niagara Parks Greenhouse, in Niagara's orchards or in the Niagara Parks Botanical Gardens in April and May. Enjoy! Linda
 
Pink horse chestnut in bloom
A sprinking of dogwood
Umbrella magnolia bloom
An old white wisteria
with beautiful long blooms
Peonies like tissue wedding car decorations
Purple tulips march behind a hedge
Take a ride through the garden
It'll come to me
Under the pines
There are miles of orchards in Niagara
Cherry and pear blossoms are white, apple
and peach are pink, apricot are light pink
These are cherry blossoms
