Every March, Forsyth Park puts on a show. This is what it looks like up close — the pale pink petals going translucent in the morning light, the speckled throat deepening to magenta, stamens reaching outward with the particular confidence of something that only has a few weeks to make its case.
Shot at close range on March 14, 2026, this image is the intimate counterpart to the wide park views from the same morning. Where those images show Forsyth in full — fog, oaks, promenades, grandeur — this one asks you to stop walking and look at the thing right in front of you. The park has been planting azaleas here since the 1800s. They have not gotten worse at it.
