Spring Bloom Hunting

June ushers in the pink and purple blooms or the Catawba Rhodendron, considered by many to be the showstopper of all spring flowers. Through the early weeks of June the Blue Ridge Parkway is the best place to see this showy flower. The best place to see them is from the Folk Art Center to Craggy Gardens (north of Asheville).
