Latest Spring Flowers

Sunday April 28, 2013 this first picture is an apple blossom with a bee feeding on it. The tree was buzzing with the sound of hundreds of bees on it.

This is a Japanese cherry which produces beautiful flowers, but not a fruiting tree.

This Iris is the first to bloom here. The deep blue are always the first to bloom, followed by the yellow and then the white. These are old time originals They were old when we moved here 24 years ago. I suspect they may as old as 90 years, but I have no way of being sure.

 These are normal cherry blossoms on a tree that produces really tart but delicious red cherries.

 Last today are these lilacs. I have transplanted these from bushes that were very old when we moved here and I have them growing all over the farm now.
