Michigan Spring Flowers
Spring in Michigan means color returning to the land—tulips and daffodils line driveways, and backyard growers begin cutting early blooms for roadside jars and bundles. Whether it’s wildflowers in canning jars or carefully grown ranunculus in folded paper sleeves, Michigan's spring flowers are a quiet celebration of survival and renewal.
