TODAY'S FLOWERS ~ Almond Blossom Time

The old trees are barely hanging on but the seedlings are
taling over with their wild beauty.

  1. Hi Arija, thank you so much for being our Guest Friend this week. Your flowers on the home page are marvelous, and your almond tree blooms are pure delight. Thank you also for stopping by and helping me identify some of my flowers a while ago. I always appreciate any help I can get. Have a great week.

  21. These photos remind me of the flowering almonds my mother and grandmother had. I so loved those shrubs (strictly ornamental--our winters are too cold)
    In Spring, they would open and be filled with elegant pink puffballs of delight!
    Thank you for the memory! ;)

    XXOO~~♥

  26. How nice to see spring blooms from down under! Almonds are my favorite nuts, so I'm assuming they come from these lovely flowers. I also am quite envious of your roses on Today's Flowers! ♥♫

  27. These blossoms are such a beautiful border and may someday replace the elders that gave them life.
