With the weather being extremely strange this year, my Flowering Plum Bush exploded with flowers a few weeks ago. We had about a week of lovely temps and then several nights with freeze warnings. Not the greatest picture....I apologize for my lack of photography skills!!

  1. What pretty blossoms! I think a lot of the flowers have bloomed early - even our wildflowers. Most are almost gone now and we're turning brown again. Sigh.

  2. No apologies needed - it's beautiful! We have a miniature flowering plum and it got flowers for about 2 days last month, and they looked just like that! :--)

  4. The contrast of colors between the pale plum flowers and the dark foliage is striking. You do take good pictures!

  7. Pretty! This time of year here the star jasmine and magnolias are bursting in bloom.....the scent is like heaven and I try to read outside as much as possible to enjoy it. Have a wonderful weekend!

  11. We, too, had that warm stretch and then three nights of hard frost ... we're worried about the wild strawberries and blueberries that had blossomed ... hope they are resilient! Your plum tree's blossoms are just beautiful!

  12. I love plum blossoms. I had a spring moment this year realizing they were out all of a sudden. Very spring-y!!

  14. How pretty! I don't think we'll ever see anything flower here. We're back to cold and raining this morning. We're lucky if we get ine nice day in five. I want summer already!

  17. What a lovely bush. Does the foliage stay purple all year? I'm landscaping my front yard and have to choose a few new shrubs and I'm looking for color and flowers.

  18. The flowers on that plum bush look perfect - love the white against the red.

  19. I know what you mean about conflicting emotions on this. I love that the flowers are early, but I fear for them too. We have strawberries ripe already. Here's Mine

  20. What an interesting looking flower - I don't think I've ever seen one before!

  21. I wonder, is it called a flowering plum bush because of the color of the leaves, or does it bear fruit? Because those leaves are a beautiful plum color. :)

  22. I have flowers I'm afraid of losing, too. Hopefully, yours will survive!

    Here are my British Snapshots

  25. Beautiful! Your weather sounds so like our crazy up-and-down weather here in Montreal.

  26. No need for apologies-- I just learned about a very pretty shrub that I'd never heard of before! :-)

  27. Haven't seen one of those before, my question is the same as Alyce's ... does it bear fruit?
