First Blooms of the Season–Sunday, March 22, 2015

Posted on March 22, 2015 by Dayphoto

The apricots are blooming!

All our trees (we only have four) are ancient apricot trees.

The one on the farm road has pink blossoms—it is the only one on the farm to have pink blooms.

The one at our house has white blooms

The other two in the yard of the other house are a cross between pink and white

But the pretties of them all (to me) is the one on the farm road.

Spring has now officially arrived…the Apricots are blooming!

Happy Spring all my friends! Or Happy Autumn if you are now experiencing the cool down — opposite of our warm up!

Your friend on a Western Colorado Farm,

Linda

How glorious. Here in NZ I am eating the last of the apricot harvest (not mine; from the shop), and savouring every bite. And yours are just beginning their journey to fruiting.

They’re beautiful. They look like the cherry blossom trees in the park by us. The cherry blossoms don’t grow cherries. Do your trees grow apricots?

Hi Linda, the blossoms are beautiful! Chuck says when one of these trees comes down to let him know, he’ll make you another pepper mill! 🙂

SO BEAUTIFUL!!! Thanks for sharing. Here green is sticking out and trees are just beginning to bud, but nothing as spectacular as that.

The farm road tree is stunning. Like a pink firework frozen mid-explosion.

Beautiful! But only four? 🙂 Hoping Mother Nature cooperates – You know how unpredictable springtime in the Rockies can be. Fingers crossed!

Do you ever do anything with your apricots? I wish you were my neighbor, I would buy a bunch from you. Jam, dehydrate, cookies, pie, cake, chutney…

Very pretty! Welcome spring! 🙂
I have quite a few flowers blooming. And the nectarine tree is just starting to bud. I mowed, or I should say vacuumed the lawn. It energized it, now it’s turning green. The wild flowers in the pastures are coming too. Love this time of year.
