As spring blossoms, we usually anticipate the beautiful blooms of the crabapple trees, red buds, dogwood and even the invasive callery pear. As we gaze at these wonders, we overlook many common trees that are doing their best to put forth a successful bloom. All trees must flower to reproduce, but some are just a bit inconspicuous about it. Sometimes we simply have to look a little harder to see some amazing and unusual flowers that are dangling overhead every spring. Many of these blooms are small, but they are just as amazing if you take the time to look up!
