Crepe Myrtle in Bloom |
Many people think of Spring as the best time to see the South in bloom. Few realize that the warmer months of the year also have their own form of Southern flower power.. Crepe Myrtle, Magnolia and many native Southern plants are in peak bloom.

And many introduced species thrive in our near tropical climate.

Brookgreen Gardens is one the best places in the state to see just how truly exotic the South can look
One of CC's personal favorites blooms of the season are the waterlilies
Wild white waterlilies can be found blooming along South Carolina's roadways
But they are not as large nor as colorful as those in Brookgreen's ponds
And Brookgreen's waterlilies are a lot safer to sketch and photogragh
