I saw this in my backyard yesterday when I was planting the blueberries...

It's apparently fig buttercup; an invasive species, and illegal to sell in MD. I suppose I should dig it up. I don't want it screwing up the other flowers I planted.

Plum,

along with apples at my house, cooler microclimate.

This first one was planned a foot too deep at a customer's house. It tipped over years ago. It was propped...needing a rebuild.

this apple tipped decades ago.
Cherry behind it is slightly behind in flowering.

I've spent a bunch of time in different deserts...so very different from where I grew up in urban/ suburban chicago (Oak Park, an old town that got swallowed by urban growth, with several miles of shared boarder with City of Chicago), and so very different from where I live now.

Good to see some desert views.

I'm excited to see so many fruit trees blooming (plum, cherry, pear, apple, a multi-graft stone fruit tree that I bought my GF, 2 Hannukahs ago).

My neighbor has a hard cider apple orchard.

I have an almond tree that I haven't gotten an almond off, yet. Almonds are Prunus genus, like plums and cherries.

Fig trees buds are swelling!

Last years fruit crop was almost non-existant, as pollinators and flowers didn't align.

Fleabane! Nothing real exciting, but they're kinda pretty. I let the hill in back growup til they're finished blooming. I also spread wildflower seed sawdust on the hill. No flowers or trees yet :^D

Also star of Bethlehem. It's an invasive, but kind of neat. I had a friend that used to dig it out, and it looked like a battalion of groundhogs visited his property. Looked better with the star of Bethlehem. Turf fever. If it isn't a monoculture of grass, it isn't right.
