A Hint of Spring

Throughout the rural countryside of Itawamba County the Yellow Jessamine is showing its yellow trumpet blooms. It is one of the first hints of the coming of spring and on a damp evening or early morning, the sweet scent of the flowers spreads throughout the countryside. The state flower of South Carolina, it is also called Carolina Jessamine around these parts.
