As noted earlier, the park also includes a flower garden that's maintained jointly by the city and some of our apartment neighbors. It's tended to regularly and is currently hosting a large number of mostly purple irises in bloom now. It's so nice to see my favorite color every day.

There's other colorful blooms, in addition to purple ones, and these are just as lovely.
This rhododendron plant while not actually in the French Park is very close to it near the we use daily to access the park. Its flowers are in various stages of buds and/or full colorful blooms.
But the French Park isn't the only place that flowers are finally blooming in Nashua, NH, after a late start to spring. On our walks around the city, here's more blooms we've seen.

It's been a great way to unwind from the current world stressors. The past few months have been filled with corona news virus of deaths, illnesses, and shut-downs. The past week, has brought much racial tension, unrest and rioting in the U.S. and abroad. Let's not forget the political arena, as well. Such events are will not be ongoing blog topics herein. They will not be dismissed, but included as effecting ourselves and/or to our city.
Other bloggers have commented on these events in detailed posts. That's certainly their prerogative and they should do what feels right for them. However, as most people are fully aware of events happening now, my decision to post/comment on them has been far less. The news media has been, and continues to be, relentless even repetitive in its coverage, perhaps to excess. Do we really need to be reminded all the time, every hour? As always, different views are welcome and appreciated in your comments.
Seeing nature's beauty offers an escape and a way for us to truly appreciate and be thankful that we are doing well as are family, friends, and neighbors. We hope the same is true for all of you and yours.
To answer a blogger's question, collages in this post were created with the PhotoScapeX photo editor downloaded from the app store (Apple). I've been using the free version for a two months; this program and others were listed in a mid-March post. A paid upgrade ($40 USD) is available and offers even more features.
Last, but certainly not least, we remain grateful and appreciative for all comments from fellow bloggers. My husband, Patrick/Grenville appreciated the condolences many posted on the passing of his beloved Aunt Anita. Our deepest thanks to everyone.

Your city looks great.
I have tried to do enough to acknowledge these times without losing the general focus of my blog.
I love seeing all these gorgeous flowers. And what a pretty park. And flowers from elsewhere also. That has to be cheery. And I knew about the French Canadian connection to the NH mills. Have you been to the Millyard Museum in Manchester? If not, you should go when it opens. (If it is closed, which I am guessing). It talks a lot about the history of the mills. Enjoy your flowers in the park and have a great Tursday. Hugs-Erika
I love your photo collages of the flowers. Bellissima!
WOW...Nashua is most certainly blooming! What a charming town you live. It looks so clean and well-groomed.
I too have been spending part of my days within our parks. Nature has such a healing effect. I especially enjoy sitting under a tree because it gives me clarity and strength.
Thanks so much for sharing the beauty and bright spots, my friend! Have a grrreat weekend!
It is wonderful when cities and towns beautify their spaces. Nashua is such a culturally rich and beautiful place. Glad that you are able to visit at the park.
Yes lots of tragic news all around the world at the moment. It all seems even worse when we are in lockdown.
I love all your flower collages, do you use befunky to create them?
Wow! The colors are stunning and so uplifting. Thank you for that.
Wow, such gorgeous flowers! You're so lucky to have this beautiful park to enjoy. You have a wonderful day, hugs, Edna B.
You did a wonderful job showcasing the flowers in bloom up there.
Just what I need right now: nature and the beauty of blooms. You are lucky indeed to have such wonderful spaces around your neighborhood.
Such beautiful flowers. And wonderfully constructed collages too.
I think we all deserve to be able to escape for a while from some of the harsh realities of these times.
Oh, what a glorious burst of color. This is so lovely. I think we all need a little escape these days and this is indeed an escape!
The park with its bronze statue and flowers is quite an attraction!The city of Nashua and its inhabitants are lucky to have such a gem.
I like the verse in Phillipians about whatsoever is true, noble, pure, right.....lovely, admirable.....think on these things. You have it all right here in this post! Thank you!
Oh, all the flowers have made the park look just luscious! What a great place to sit and read and admire nature. :)
Those flowers are beautiful. Great work by your neighbors!
Yes, that is a very pleasant place to sit and read especially since we've been shut in for a while.
The blooms in your photos are beautiful. Yes, it is refreshing to escape outside to fresh air and nature and get away from the news of the day for a while.
The flowers must bring so much pleasure to everyone .
Those gorgeous flowers brightened my soul and put a bloom in my heart. I love the variety of colors. Your collages are wonderful.
Beatrice, The little park with all those flowers has been well thought out! Just beautiful... That is one big complex that you live in. How many units in the building? Any retail spaces or restaurants? Stay Safe and Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
That is such a great place for you to hang out. The flowers are so wonderful. I like you flower grouping and all the other shots of flowers. Your living along the river is a fascinating place.
Beautiful flowers.
