Stunning! I so love blossom pics, particularly with a blue sky!
Blue sky makes a massive difference, I agree!
Gorgeous! #3 took my breath away.
Each one has a slightly different character. The one you mention is very fresh – I also like the antique effect of the last one and the hint of pink on the buds and outer petals.
Love these photos: such a promise of spring. Still ice and snow up here in Canada. Your photos cheered me up. Thank you.
I’d love to see the cherry trees in a country that has thousands of them one year. I’ve only seen pictures, but I imagine they must be wonderful to be amongst.
Raining blossoms … it would be beautiful. I too can only imagine it.
I do love tree blossom. Ours have a bit of catching up to do, they are late this year because of the cold spring.
Me too. It’s lovely when the petals fall and cover the ground too.
Like natures confettie
So pretty. We don’t have anything like that blooming here yet.
I often think it might be possible to get repeat flowering varieties in a similar way breeders developed repeat flowering roses. Of course that would mean no fruit on those particular trees, but they would be very ornamental.
Oh wow! Ours are all done. I only got three pictures of flowering cherries, and did not get the flowering crabapples. I do not recognize all of yours. You probably have different cultivars.
I don’t know what any of them are. Most were taken at Bodnant Garden in Wales, but the odd one is English.
Beautiful! Such an array of delicious frothiness.
Delicious frothiness says it perfectly.
Ah! Blossoms! It’s finally spring – nice photos as ever
Thanks, Julz. It has taken a while this year, but that just makes it more welcome.
Prolific indeed! I like janesmudgeegarden’s word above: frothiness. I am envious of anyone who has such froth to admire — our trees are trying hard to blossom, but it’s slow going this year against the weather. So I’ll pretend I’m seeing these out my window.
I don’t suppose the snow might look like blossom at times?
Right now that seriously taxes my imagination. But, yes, I suppose at times maybe, perhaps, occasionally, in a certain light, once in a while the snow looks like blossom. You are a determined optimist!
Beautifully photographed
The top one is a bit impressionistic, but seems to convey that giddy abundance of looking up into a tree full of blossom.
Nothing wrong with impressionistic. It does
So lovely! Ah, Spring!
It’s a pity this stage passes so quickly when it arrives.
You got that right! And in Maine, Spring passes with a speed that is nothing short of astonishing.
Ah! Lovely blossoms! 😀
Glad you like them, Norma 🙂
