Most of the trees in the regional park I walk through each morning are covered in bright green, new leaves, but occasionally I see these trees, their white flowers shocking among all of the brown and green of the spring forest. I’m hoping that one of my readers can tell me what they are!

Thank you! They seem so out of place back there, but they’re beautiful.
