I’m definitely NOT one of those girls who squeals, “Oh! Let me get a vase!” on the rare occasions that I’m given flowers. I can barely tell the difference between tulips and roses, and I wouldn’t know a daffodil if it bit me on the ass. Flowers usually bore me, and I think they’re are a waste of money. You buy them, they just sit there, they die in 2 days, you throw them out. The end.
But… there’s this bush in my back yard that I’m borderline obsessed with. Once a year, it produces these vivid pink flowers that I just love. And every year around this time, I find myself frequently looking out the window to see if the flowers started to bloom yet. Today, they did. No clue what it is - but it sure is purdy.

I think it might be a dogwood tree.

It’s an Azalea. There’s a varietal called an Encore Azalea that blooms more often than just in the spring.

Thanks, Dan! You’re right!
