Spring is magical everywhere in the world, but springtime in Charleston brings a special kind of beauty. The scents wafting through the air are magical. Charleston has many large live oak trees, in this area they have Spanish moss hanging from their stately limbs, they also have Resurrection fern growing on the large branches. Talk about magical…

Resurrection fern looks brown and crunchy, like a dead fern when it hasn’t rained. Once the rain hits the leaves, it turns a lush green and looks like the healthiest fern you’ve ever seen. Once the rain has stopped for a period of time, it turns brown again and the cycle repeats and repeats.

If you’re fortunate enough to time a visit to Charleston, South Carolina at the peak of spring when the azaleas are in bloom along with the wisteria and countless (stunning) purple/pink trees and so much more. You will be rewarded with a sight (and scent) that you will most likely remember for a long, long time.

I grew up in the Midwest but have lived here many more years (this year will be 36 years in SC) – whew, time flies! So when our spring rolls around I post a lot of photos of flowers, I LOVE THEM. I feel bad because I know it’s still snowing in other parts of the country, but remember, when you’re posting your photos of flowers and pretty weather, we’ll be in the midst of a massive heat wave, ha ha. So I have to do it while I can! Happy spring!!
