Spring Is In The Air!


Flowering Pear - Pyrus Calleryana

 One of the first signs that spring is on it's way is that our flowering pear blooms.  It is really a sight to see, covered in white blooms - which the bees absolutely love.

We love the way it looks - like an earthbound cloud.   Unfortunately, the fragrance of the flowers are a little too pungent - if you know what I mean.
The next time we have a windy day, the petals will be strewn all over the yard and roadway - sort of like white confetti.  And then the limey sagey green leaves are revealed.
