March showers bring March flowers

The weather is fairly grim, although with occasional sun breaks to remind us there is life above the cloud cover and rain.

But the March flowers seem to either ignore or thrive on the weather. They are proceeding on their own time table.

Being fairly useless at identifying flowers, birds, and car parts, I'm still going to take a guess that this is an azalea. Let me know.

I was just thinking of that old proverb, "Sweet April showers do spring May flowers," and how ours should be replaced with March! Lovely photo. You were right - It is an azalea - but I can't identify plants very well either. I use some apps called "PictureThis" for plants, "Picture Insect" for bugs, and both "Audobon" and "Merlin Bird ID" for birds. I've learned a lot! The first two apps will try to get you to subscribe and really that is only for advanced features such as more detailed information on what you snap pictures of. To use them free simply click the (purposely, I'm sure) incognito "X" on the upper right or left-hand corners of the free trial/subscribe page.
