Red Maple Flowers
Red or swamp maples (Acer rubrum) is one of the first plants to flower here in Zone 8 North Florida where I live. Spring is coming early this year and some of the trees finished blooming weeks ago and are already loaded with samaras (below).

Hopefully the light freeze predicted for my area this weekend will convince them to wait a few more weeks (when all danger of frost is past...).
