A short walk across the Tulane University uptown campus provides a sweet reminder that it"s springtime in New Orleans. Look for five varieties of Louisiana irises along McAlister Place: purple (pictured), blue, white, rust and yellow. More flowers ahead â¦
This periwinkle floret is one of hundreds spread out under the oak tree in front of Flower Hall, a great place to catch some shade on a sunny day.
A lantana bush filled with blooms and buds is near the fountain between Boggs Hall and Stern Hall. Commonly know as ham and eggs, butterflies dig it.
A Chinese fringe tree is hard to miss along McAlister Place, next to Irby House. Just look for the large tree with billowing white flowers.
Also outside Irby House is your average mahonia bealei. It"s also known as Oregon grape, but don"t get any ideas ⦠it isn"t edible!
