I bet next year it will bloom! We had a friend in town give us little saplings that came up naturally in their yard. I don't think they bloomed for several years.
Yes, I do! There is a flowering plum in bloom in the back yard and a weeping cherry just starting out front and I noticed the dogwood out front is working on its buds too. Then it's the Kwanzan Cherry and the crabapple yet. ♥♥♥ Spring flowering trees!
we have a purple leaf plum that still needs to bloom...and a dogwood that is days away. Yes, it's the best part of spring. We have a magnolia...which is my favorite. I really want that pussy willow, though. I should look for one at that garden center!
Oh I'd love to have a magnolia! There was a black pussy willow here when we moved here but it's not as pretty as the regular ones. Ha, we cut it down completey one year thinking good riddance but it's just as big as ever! sigh
There are black ones? Wow...I didn't know! I think I'd like the grey ones better. I'm going to look those up on google! Bigger than ever? haha...I guess it loved the massive pruning. ha.
Here around not but in other places I saw them are beatiful, lovethe color, :) Betsy I answer you in my post I take then diameter of my mold that you have and idea lol
I would think they would grow fine there. I'm surprised they aren't around! If you google them you will see how wild and wispy they are...and they spread naturally! We have them through the countryside natually and along the highways.
Geez your backyard is nice too Not just a zoo Except maybe the tighty whitey guy But the wind can make those fly The nuggets are still singing at your bay Only 3 hours left and then a rest can come their way..haha
LOL another reason why bloom Does not bring doom Means the snow it gone And no tightie whities can be seen across the lawn Not quite that old yet So you'd lose that bet Still a year before that comes to be As only 27 at my sea
What did I do, add 2 years to your birthday? Well, we can't have that, oh the dismay ha. Hope year 27 is just plain fun as you email and rhyme off your little buns. ha.
Last I checked 28 to 27 was only one year You doing that funky american math I fear?...lol Year 27 could shape up to be quite fun Depending upon what is done The rhymes will come either way though As the cat will always have his ten cents worth at his show
Singing the song how nice I hope you don't charge a price..haha
No, silly Pat let me explain you were 26 before your birthday came I asked if you were turning 28 and you said 27 was the going rate. I added 2 instead of one and that's how it was done. lol.
Yep, I think this will be a great year for you never know what fun things could come due!
I suppose that explanation will do As you tried to double the time at my zoo Are you trying to make me catch you?..lol So I can no longer give a clue And make fun As this year with the five you'll add a one..hahaha Hmmm who knows it could be As I continue blithering on at my sea
If you're in the right part of town, we have pear trees and plum trees. My sister-in-law has a peach tree that always blooms beautifully. I remember the dogwoods and redbuds and apple trees from Ohio when I lived there. I lived in a little town named Middleport along the Ohio river. Greens were so green there! :)
We are in Michigan today and there are beautiful flowering trees everywhere. I'd never heard of Redbud trees, but I wouldn't be surprised if some of what we see are Redbuds. Beautiful!
How lovely to see your beautiful blooms. Very dark and ugly here in CA, so it is nice to be able to look upon some cheery spring color in someone else's neck of the woods.
What is wonderful is how Spring seems to be perfectly co-ordinated all across the northern hemisphere, The seasons bring us closer, unite us and warm away our differences.
I always enjoy it when the Redbud trees are in bloom. They line the bit of the interstate I drive every day. I have one very sad tree in the backyard. It is listing to the right because every year another branch on the left dies. I think it will just tumble over one day.
Beautiful! We planted a redbud tree two years ago, and so far no flowers. Maybe next year!
ReplyDeleteI bet next year it will bloom! We had a friend in town give us little saplings that came up naturally in their yard. I don't think they bloomed for several years.
DeleteSo pretty!!!! I'm a little jealous of the scenery around you :) Hope you're having a great weekend!!
ReplyDeletethanks, Jax. No trees around you?
DeleteNo, not really. My grandma has bushes on the side of her house. Does that count???? hahahaha
DeleteGorgeous!!
ReplyDeletedon't you love how wispy they are? There are a lot of them around here and they all opened in the last few days.
DeleteYes, I do! There is a flowering plum in bloom in the back yard and a weeping cherry just starting out front and I noticed the dogwood out front is working on its buds too. Then it's the Kwanzan Cherry and the crabapple yet. ♥♥♥ Spring flowering trees!

ReplyDeleteWow.

In Him,
Grace
isn't that a beautiful color!?
DeleteMy favorite color!! look georgeous!
ReplyDeleteDo you have them there? They are wild and brambly looking but whem they bloom they are wonderful!
DeleteHere around not but in other places I saw them are beatiful, lovethe color, :)
DeleteBetsy I answer you in my post I take then diameter of my mold that you have and idea lol
ok..I'll look...thank you. They looked like a layer to a cake but only in miniature! So cute!
DeleteYes I take the diameter because I wasnt sure how to explain lol! (but these silicone molds are from USA) lol
DeleteWe don't have Redbud trees.
ReplyDeleteI didn't even know about this type of tree.
We are still scraping off the frost from our car windows.
But the sun peeked out today!
Now I'm on the hunt for Redbud trees.
I would think they would grow fine there. I'm surprised they aren't around! If you google them you will see how wild and wispy they are...and they spread naturally! We have them through the countryside natually and along the highways.
DeleteOh, by the way...my toes are looking pretty good.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah! So glad you're joinging in. :)
DeleteGeez your backyard is nice too
ReplyDeleteNot just a zoo
Except maybe the tighty whitey guy
But the wind can make those fly
The nuggets are still singing at your bay
Only 3 hours left and then a rest can come their way..haha
happy birthday again (lol)
Deleteyep..the zoo has to be pretty for Dr. Do. lol.
DeleteAnd thankfully things are in bloom and leaves sprout on trees
blocking my view of the tightie whities!
twenty eight, right?
that should fill you with fright.
haha.
LOL another reason why bloom
DeleteDoes not bring doom
Means the snow it gone
And no tightie whities can be seen across the lawn
Not quite that old yet
So you'd lose that bet
Still a year before that comes to be
As only 27 at my sea
What did I do, add 2 years to your birthday?
DeleteWell, we can't have that, oh the dismay
ha. Hope year 27 is just plain fun
as you email and rhyme off your little buns. ha.
27!! OH dear, you are so young ! Im singing the song lol
DeleteLast I checked 28 to 27 was only one year
DeleteYou doing that funky american math I fear?...lol
Year 27 could shape up to be quite fun
Depending upon what is done
The rhymes will come either way though
As the cat will always have his ten cents worth at his show
Singing the song how nice
I hope you don't charge a price..haha
No, silly Pat let me explain
Deleteyou were 26 before your birthday came
I asked if you were turning 28
and you said 27 was the going rate.
I added 2 instead of one
and that's how it was done.
lol.
Yep, I think this will be a great year for you
never know what fun things could come due!
Pat! I sang my song free, like a gift lol!
DeleteI suppose that explanation will do
DeleteAs you tried to double the time at my zoo
Are you trying to make me catch you?..lol
So I can no longer give a clue
And make fun
As this year with the five you'll add a one..hahaha
Hmmm who knows it could be
As I continue blithering on at my sea
Free I like that
So does the cat
Wish these grew in our area. I'll just have to content myself with enjoying your beautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you have blooming, Magpie? Anything yet?
DeleteIf you're in the right part of town, we have pear trees and plum trees. My sister-in-law has a peach tree that always blooms beautifully. I remember the dogwoods and redbuds and apple trees from Ohio when I lived there. I lived in a little town named Middleport along the Ohio river. Greens were so green there! :)
DeleteOur redbuds have already peaked, and, oh my, they were especially gorgeous this year!
ReplyDeleteThey don't seem to last long but are one of the earliest to bloom here. Looking forward to crabapples and dogwoods next!
DeletePretty, pretty.
ReplyDeleteBetter keep the tissues handy...for your allergies. Ahhhhhhh-choo!
LOL
Have a great weekend.
Nancy
Oh my eyes are SO itchy today!
DeleteWe are in Michigan today and there are beautiful flowering trees everywhere. I'd never heard of Redbud trees, but I wouldn't be surprised if some of what we see are Redbuds. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWell, enjoy your stay in Michigan!
DeleteWe have a freeze warning for tonight! I just knew that would happen!
I love this! I am still waiting for the arrival of Spring where I live. I have to live vicariously through bloggers right now.
ReplyDeletewell we still should be waiting too! This is very early for us!
Deletebeautiful! *sniff-sniff-cough-sneeze*
ReplyDeleteOh, I know...my allergies are awful!
DeleteSimply beautiful.
ReplyDelete~Jo

DeleteSpring is definitely springing! Take care
ReplyDeletex
It has been nice!
DeleteHow lovely to see your beautiful blooms. Very dark and ugly here in CA, so it is nice to be able to look upon some cheery spring color in someone else's neck of the woods.
ReplyDeleteWe are a little gloomy here...and I hear the cold is returning! By then you will be warm! ha.
DeleteWhat is wonderful is how Spring seems to be perfectly co-ordinated all across the northern hemisphere, The seasons bring us closer, unite us and warm away our differences.
ReplyDeletehow beautifully written, alan! :)
DeleteLovely.

ReplyDeletethey line our interstates, too...a nice contrast to all the grey right now!
Deletei'm just blog walking and very surprise when we stopping here, cause you has a beautifull blog. Congratz.
ReplyDeletewell, I'm glad you randomly found me! :)
