Crab apple blossom
This is a small tree laden with blossoms. My husband grew this tree from seeds taken from a crabapple tree growing on Toronto streets. Trees grown from seeds are not reliably beautiful but this time we were lucky!
Wild apple blossoms
I think we'll actually have apples on our wild trees this year! Last year we had a killing frost at just the wrong time so very little fruit was set.
I am linking to Madge's Weekly Top Shot.
Wow! Just a few days ago these flowers were only buds,
ReplyDeleteA sure sign of spring! Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful blossoms. That's amazing the pink one grew from a seed that your husband found! The apple trees are just coming in to bud here and I noticed a wild one along the road had some white and pink showing yesterday. It was cold last night but no frost here. Only 7 this morning. Brrrr.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous blooms, I'm glad the frost didn't get them.
ReplyDeleteOh yes!
ReplyDeleteIt's apple blossums here galore too.
That first photo is a riot of color!

I didn't know that EG..apple blossoms have to be the most exquisite herald of spring ever, would be fantastic if they just bloomed for a bit longer oui!
ReplyDeleteSo spring-like! Apple blossoms always make me think of my Dad...he thought they were the most beautiful flowers on Earth.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures of blooming apple trees ... The first picture is wonderful in colors!

Lovely captures of the blossoms! I saw tiny apples on the trees in Kufri.
ReplyDeleteVisual poetry that is!
ReplyDeleteWow, you have a tree you grew from a seed - and it's gorgeous. I'm so impressed!
ReplyDeleteThere are so many beautiful blossoms around this year! What luck that the seedling is a beauty.

ReplyDeleteApple blossoms are one of my favorite flowers! I don't think we can grow apples here but I do remember apple trees (and crabapple trees) in Minnesota.

I really like your first photo of the crab apple blossom.
ReplyDeleteI think that is a down right miracle, that the seed germinated into a full blown adult tree. Thanks for sharing that.
ReplyDeleteThat is just gorgeous and so amazing you started with a seed. I hope the wild apples will be a tasty treat (the ones I've had are always sweet-tart and a gorgeous subtle flavor not found in supermarkets:).
ReplyDeleteoh wow, gorgeous blossoms! i really, really love that first one!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous blooms. Love it! :)
ReplyDeleteThese were beauties indeed - I can already taste the coming fruit :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat pretty little flowers! Hopefully you will have an abundance of apples this year!
ReplyDeleteI love the smell of apple blossoms!

Apple blossoms are so pretty and so quickly gone. Glad you got those shots.
ReplyDeleteBTW - I'm back from a trip and back to visiting my blogger friends.
