Cherry and Plum Blossoms
/We have a cherry and plum tree in our front yard…and they are both blooming at the same time this year. In past year the plum has been almost finished before the cherry tree peaks. The up and down temperatures this year has acted to synchronize their blooming.
The cherry tree still has some buds. It always surprises me that the buds look so pink but the petal are almost white.
The cherry tree is an older tree and has more lichen growing on it.
The plum has pink buds and the color is retained in the open flowers.
The leaves of the tree are red too so there is no greenery around the plum blossoms.
These trees are the best part of our spring front yard!
