It's Bloomin' February here in Portland!
These blossoms are actually on a tree, just across the street. I don't know what they are, so if anyone can illuminate me on this, it would be great. REALLY large tree.
Hey Deidre. I'm a transplanted Bostonian, so I can hear ya! Actually, it gets pretty cold, but things for the most part stay green, and yes, the flowers are starting to bloom. I suppose that makes up for the continual winter rain?
Camelias are a good guess, though these aren't as heavily petaled as what I'm used. It is so different her on the left coast. Out where I am I have seen the magnolias starting to bloom - one of my favorites.
