Who doesn’t love spring? As flowers bloom and days become warmer, students wrap up their final school activities and start looking to the summer. With exams, graduation, and other end of the year festivities to think about, Wyoming Seminary campus busily buzzes with excitement. The warmer weather has encouraged students to spend more time outside, either playing lawn games on back campus or just walking around.

One of the things students have enjoyed most this spring are the many vibrant and fragrant flowers blooming around campus. These flowers have uplifted and added color to school life. Kaila Chung ‘27 mentioned how, “[She] enjoys walking around campus with her friends during lunch in the warm weather and loves seeing all of the gorgeous flowers that have recently bloomed.” With so many different flowers to observe, students have also started picking their own personal favorites. For example, Jayden Li ‘28 shared, “[His] favorite flower is the sweet osmanthus, because of its scent and its passionate and carefree nature.” Other students hold different opinions about their favorite flowers. Melia Benetos ‘27 is one of these students: “[Her] favorite flowers are pink peonies.” Nancy Dahal ‘28 seconded this opinion in gushing how “[She] adores peonies, which [she] had first learned about via Minecraft. Ever since then, [she] [has] seen them as incredibly ethereal flowers.” 

Thanks to the weather forecast’s predictions for more sunny days ahead, students are excited to spend more time outdoors and enjoy the weather between classes. As they savor these last few weeks of school and take advantage of the prime outdoor conditions, students also look forward to exploring new varieties of plant life blooming around campus. With so many of these different flowers around campus, what are some of your spring favorites?
