There is plenty to be seen in the Spring, both at ground level and amongst the branches. Above ground the blossom begins to appear. Various members of the cherry family brighten the early days of Spring, including the prunus pictured on the left by the Japanese Bridge.
Spring is also the time for the magnolia to begin to show what it can do.
M. kobus clothes its naked stems in April with thousands of creamy-white flowers. Others, such as M. obovata will follow in June. The rhododendrons too are beginning to flower.
