One of the many favorite things I enjoy in the springtime are the plants that flower before they grow leaves. Saucer Magnolia, Star Magnolia, Forsythia, Spirea, Dogwood, Redbud, Prunus (Cherry, Peach, Plum) Trees and even the nasty old Bradford Pear (split master). Their flowers really show out against the dormant lawns and winter landscape.
