Whats blooming?

Crocuses have bloomed in St. Petersburg -

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,

cherries and pears are on the verge, fig isn't yet, in town,


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 love the small flowers up here. Often growing like a carpet in fields. Still tryin to get a picture of the Baby Blue Eyes this year.

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.

Finally got pictures of baby blue eyes today.

Despite the fact that cherry blossoms are blooming, it was snowing today.

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.

Katy' mothers day present from a few years ago is blooming nicely
Locust

That's cool looking. What kind of locust?

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Purple Robe Locust Tree (Robinia pseudoacacia 'Purple Robe') is an improvement of the native Black Locust tree.
So basically, black locust
