| What is Blooming In Nashville Right Now |
Brace Yourselves for a Bevy of Beautiful Blooms:
Summer's All-Stars:
- Crape Myrtles: These vibrantly colored crepe paper-esque flowers are a true Nashville staple. Think fuchsia, lavender, and even shades of pink that would make a flamingo jealous.
- Daylilies: Don't let the name fool you, these cheerful trumpet-shaped flowers can actually grace your presence for weeks, not just a day. Talk about commitment!
- Hibiscus: These exotic beauties bring a touch of the tropics to Nashville with their large, showy flowers in fiery reds and sunshine yellows.
Bonus Bloom:
- Butterfly Bushes: These aren't technically flowers, but their feathery clusters come in a kaleidoscope of colors and are a magnet for fluttering friends (butterflies, that is, not your overly enthusiastic out-of-town bachelor party crew).
Warning:
Tip: Don’t skim — absorb.
Seeing all these stunning specimens might induce a serious case of " I-want-to-stop-and-smell-the-roses-but-mostly-take-pictures-of-them" syndrome. There's no cure, but it's a pretty sweet way to spend a summer afternoon.
Pro Tips for Navigating Nashville's Floral Feast:
- Pack your walking shoes (or rent a scooter, we won't judge): Nashville has plenty of green spaces to explore, from Cheekwood Estate & Gardens to Percy Warner Park.
- Bring your allergy meds (just in case): While some summer blooms are delightfully fragrant, others might have you reaching for the tissues.
- Download a plant identification app: Because let's be honest, sometimes even the experts get stumped by a particularly unique blossom.
Remember: Social media etiquette applies. Don't be that person who tramples delicate flowers to get the perfect Instagram shot.
