Think of something that you love, something that makes your heart skip a beat and puts a smile on your face. Something that is one of your favorite things in the whole world. For some it might be horses or snow or a pet; for others it might be chocolate! For me, it is flowers. You all know by now that I love flowers. There’s something about them that just makes me happy. I know I didn’t learn to love flowers, the love was written into my soul long before I ever discovered it. We’re kindred spirits. We’re bosom friends! (I’m an Anne of Green Gables fan too!)

Knowing when my little flower friends are going to be blooming is important, so I don’t miss the opportunity to photograph them. I’ve put together a list of flowers and what seasons they bloom in, so you don’t miss your chance!

The Northern Hemisphere celebrates spring in the months of March, April and May, while those living in the Southern Hemisphere enjoy it’s beauties in September, October and November. Spring is when most flowering plants begin to bloom, while flowers that bloom only during spring are called Spring Flowers.

Summer season finds floral growth at it’s finest because of the warm to hot weather. Summer arrives in the Northern Hemisphere in June and continues through August, while in the Southern Hemisphere it goes from December to February. In the North Pole and Iceland, summer is the season of the Midnight Sun! The land of the Midnight Sun may refer to any of the world’s northern regions above the arctic circle.
