Our creeping phlox in the Pool Garden (a garden that used to be a swimming pool) is blooming profusely and when it returns, that signals the return of butterflies to the Inn. Here are our first two winged visitors of the season…with many more to come. We’ve counted up to 40 butterflies at one time on the phlox, which provides a purple splash of color in the middle of the Pool Garden this time of year.
Driving around this week, we noticed that several trees are flowering in the Asheville/Black Mountain area and there is green starting to show on the trees. Spring has arrived! And although the daytime temperature went from 79 degrees to 49 degrees in a span of three days (that’s Spring in the mountains), we can’t help but notice Mother Nature giving us some beautiful blooms to make up for that temporary fluctuation in the weather.
To get you smiling as we head into the weekend, here are the latest flowers in bloom at our Bed & Breakfast near Old Fort, Black Mountain and Asheville in the mountains of Western North Carolina. Enjoy!
