More Spring Flowers to Come.

Click on the pictures to enlarge them if you like.





































There are more plants about ready to bloom that I'll post next time. We've had a very high concentration of pollen this year, for some reason. ( I think the trees have been fornicating a wee bit too much this year, as one has to brush or blow it off. Wetting it down makes a nice slush that requires more water to remove it. It's more trouble than it's worth so we get the blower out and move it off of the deck and patio regions.
Enjoy, and until next time, I'll talk to you later.

Blooming Trees of Spring in the North West


Our decorative Plum Tree is in bloom this week and I always welcome its beautiful purple flowers.

This is our Weeping Cherry Tree that we call "The Wedding Tree" since it was a gift to us when we were married in Oregon before they rescinded all 3000 marriages. There's Seán in the background.


Last one is of the Plum and a Rhododendron not ready for prime time.

Does this fellow have a problem with his height?

I found this photo op interesting.

The president of France must be very short. His heels must be at least an inch and an half and he still feels the need to stand on his "tippy-toes." ;-)
