When I captured the images in my most recent post, the crab apple blossoms were mere buds. The next day they opened. I’ve always been fond of those flowering trees.
As a student, and later as an employee at Michigan State University, I always enjoyed May. MSU is reported to have the most extensive collections of flowering crab apples anywhere.
Thanks for telling me about the State flower…I didn’t realize that or had forgotten …They are beautiful. Lately,I’ve been noticing small , graceful trees that have fine bright purple flowers and I wonder what it is?????
I’m sorry, Grace. I’m not sure what that would be.
So incredibly beautiful.
The apple blossom is our Michigan state flower.
