Salem, Massachusetts: Flowers Around Town

Yesterday, my family spent the day in Salem, Massachusetts. Salem is best known for witch-y things but it's also a beautiful New England town rich in history. While walking around town I snapped photos of some pretty spring flowers. This bike always has a lovely arrangement growing from the basket. Today, pansies seem to be the flower of choice.
Salem shop owners are creative with their flowers. I love the cone shaped hanging basket. This was one of several suspended from an overhang in a shopping area.

Flowering trees and shrubs are in bloom. Lilacs are flowering all over New England right now. Not so sure what the other white blossomed tree is, but I thought it was beautiful against the pink house.
