2026 Flower Explosion (Part 1)
2026 Flower Explosion (Part 1)
Since the beginning in 2021 when I started blogging on my website pbsstudios.com and posting on Facebook one of my annual subjects I cover is the flower 2026 Flower Explosion at our house, It’s starting (again) this week. I see this year’s blooms getting ready to burst open.
Between early April and early May, our home becomes a florist delight. For the past few years, I’ve written a column on the subject of our flower explosion. The funny part is it still stands. Each year I read the previous year’s Flower Explosion column, Once again, I don’t think I can improve my feelings for the front of our house at this time of year.
We have a multitude of flowers that bloom at different times during this period, making the view out our front door exquisite. The funny part is we didn’t know about the flower bushes in front when we purchased the house 25 years ago.
2026 Flower Explosion Rite of Spring
It’s the rite of spring when the bare trees of winter allow you to see the neighbors change quickly. Like magic, the buds start to grow at the end of March. The trees transform our house into a canopy of green during April, a shaded, secluded oasis.
First to arrive are the tall red tips with their purple flowers. They announce the coming of spring. Then it’s the azalea show, starting with white azaleas by the front door and baby pink on the east side of the driveway. The baby ruby red roses make their appearance to break up the azalea string. The grand finale is the enormous azalea bush in front of our house. When it blooms, it displays a monumental amount of pink azalea flowers.
Because of their beauty, I go out and photograph the flowers each year. Over the years, I’ve probably taken over a thousand pictures of the flowers in my front yard. Here are a few images from my collection of flowers blooming. As this year’s flowers bloom, To see more examples of my photography and digital painting work, go to the Gallery section of my website.

“What Club Would You Hit?”
On Tuesday. since the beginning of 2026, I’ve introduced a new weekly column. “What Club Would You Hit?” combines my digital paintings and photographs of golf holes with an essay discussing the golf hole in question. I provide history, the designer, and other interesting facts including how I played the golf hole.
The digital paintings and photographs are used as an illustration in my book, “Golf a la Cart Version 2,” now available on Amazon or by contacting me.
