| Flowering Almonds |
Isn't she a stunner? Flowering Almonds are so delightful. As I look around the homestead, I wish I'd planted a dozen more...
On a cold spring, it could be June before perennials flower this high up in the mountains. While plants are greening up, trees and shrubs take center stage.

They're going nuts this year ~ because of our plentiful rains.

| Golden Currants |
I have not ~ as yet ~ turned on the sprinklers. And, that's a whole month later than normal.

In the beginning, I was hoping for fruit, but I was sorely disappointed. Fruit trees don't produce much of a harvest at this altitude.

What scraggly fruit they do produce is a fancy feast for the songbirds.

| Pears |
But, who cares? They're gorgeous!

Everywhere I look I'm bombarded with color. And, this is only half of them! I've got a batch of later bloomers waiting in the wings... :)
Stunning, all of this. So glad someone somewhere is getting rain. Here in northern New Mexico @8000 are are bone dry. I almost feel guilty planting the little that I do, but I just can't help myself.

Gorgeous blooms. I can almost smell them.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! That Almond may not have a fragrance but it makes up for it in beautiful blooms.

Your garden looks great! Love those beautiful blooms!
ReplyDeleteWe're about a month behind here, too. None of our blossom trees have reached the beautiful display you are experiencing; we lost most of them last freeze. Thank you for sharing such a gorgeous view of your world!
