6 Mounths of "Flower Power" With Shrubs. by David Beaulieu

Many flowering shrubs attract birds with their berries and provide brilliant fall foliage. But flowering shrubs are perhaps at their best when blooming, during which time they can stand alone as specimens and serve as focal points in a landscape design. It is the splendor of their blooms that I focus on in these pictures of flowering shrubs. The flowering shrubs I have chosen for this photo gallery run the gamut from early-spring bloomers to those that flower in late summer.
