The forsythia in our back yard is in full bloom right now. Problem is it's raining outside. I wonder if there will still be any blossoms on the bush when the rain ends later today (according to forecasts).
This is the plum tree at the northwest corner of our back yard. It was at its peak blossom days a couple of weeks ago. A lot of the blossoms have fallen now. I imagine the current rains and winds will blow the rest of them away.
This is, unless I'm mistaken, a Japanese quince bush. I noticed yesterday afternoon that it was really covered in red blossoms. This morning it has a lot of red blossoms but I couldn't take any photos because it was raining. Yesterday afternoon was the same. 
Things change so rapidly in the spring and the rain keeps it going.
ReplyDeleteWe had a Quince bush in our back yard, on the edge of the creek that runs through right there... and then we had a beaver one summer... grrr.... it loved the Quince, and it chewed it all up, and then chopped it down, along with our Japanese Maple bush, our sand cherry tree, and others. Darn beaver!!
ReplyDeleteMore rain. Oy. Our quince is about knee-high and adorned with 2" needle-like thorns, which I tolerate, barely, because the flowers are pretty. -- Chrissoup
ReplyDeleteSpring flowering shrubs are always so beautiful and so welcome.
