Spring is just around the corner and spring blooms come early in Northern California. The only flowering tree in my yard is a volunteer that grew from the roots of my neighbor’s Bradford Pear. He removed that tree years ago and I didn’t notice the volunteer at the fenceline until the spring blooms appeared in the midst of the evergreen Xylosma. The flowers add a welcome cheeriness to the yard in the last days of winter with its gloomy gray skies and rain.
Lovely!!! I don’t think we have any blossoms yet- and snow is in the forecast. Hope your weather will settle down now- it’s been a crazy year!
