Beginnings Of Trail Tradition Go Back To 1929
Beginnings Of Trail Tradition Go Back To 1929 This is a link to an article I thought everyone might enjoy. It tells the beginings of the spring trail and how the azalea was first introduced to Tyler. It was very interesting to me. It's amazing to think there were men and women that spent so much time making Tyler a better, more beautiful place to live and work. Hope you enjoy.
Azaleas

We are now in the middle of the Spring Azalea trail in Tyler. With this strange winter we had, not many bushes are blooming yet. The trail goes for two weeks, so we still have a little time. Hopefully we will continue to have 70 degree weather, so the dogwood trees and azaleas will start blooming. We are still about a month behind what is normally blooming this time of year. We had snow last weekend. So, I'm not surprised everything still has buds. As a florist, we enjoy this time of year. Everything is bright and full of sunshine. Everyone that comes in the front door has a spring in their step. People are sending azaleas and other spring arrangements just because it is spring. When everything blooms, I will post some pics of the local Azalea Trail.

Easter Lillies
It's so exciting! I know spring is near because it's time to talk about Easter lillies (or lilium longiflorum in Latin ). An Easter lily is the traditional flower for Easter and presents a lovely picture.
With a large, trumpet-shaped white flower, the Easter lily symbolizes purity, hope and life, it is both a beautiful plant (and very symbolically correct) for celebrating Easter as well as the spring season in general. You may not have guessed this, but the Easter lily is one of America’s most popular blooming plants – it is, in fact, the 4th largest potted plant crop in the US! Sending an Easter lilly plant as a gift is a great way to share the joy of Easter with friends and family who celebrate the holiday, but also makes a great gift for those who simply want to enjoy the beauty of a great spring flower. This is one of the most fragrant blooming plants you can buy. It really makes you realize spring is here.
The Easter lily is only available for sale for a short time across most of the US – normally just a few weeks, meaning there's only a short time to find and send one. We can send an Easter lilly in different containers, or in a double basket. They look really nice in all white with ribbon. If you look under the Easter tab on our web site, you can see an Easter lilly.
