I couldn't resist a picture of this Flowering Crabapple. It's an absolute show stopper this year. The photo really does no justice. My Lilac's are just loaded with blooms this year and the are now opening up. The scent is fantastic! This is the blooms on just one branch. A close up of the blooms I am very impressed with this Euphorbia this year. It's been blooming for weeks now and just keeps getting bigger and brighter Primula I finally managed to get a photo of a Pileated Woodpecker!
What beautiful blossoms and colors. I think I need to find some Euphorbia, I have some dull spots it would really cheer up.
I can smell the lilacs all the way here. the crabapple is just beautiful. I always loved to see those when i was in America. Great pics! Thank you for sharing.
Netty, I don't know which one I like best. The crabapple is wonderful, as is all the rest. We rented an old house when we first moved here and had a pair of pileated woodpeckers that hung around. They were so pretty.
WOW! They are beautiful photos.......I especially love the flowering crabapple!! Thanks for sharing, Cactusflower
Oh Netty what lovely photographs. I have a euphorbia just like yours and they certainly brighten up the garden don't they? That crabapple is astounding!! I wish my lilacs would hurry up and flower as the whole garden smells gorgeous when they do. Well done on getting a shot of your woodpecker.
Totally incredible lilacs! I can just imagine the scent in the air! WOW~ When I was growing up in Ohio we had a huge crabapple tree and I understand the photo not raelyl doing it justice. You are so lucky!
Netty...beautiful Lilacs and I'm sure the aroma is 'delish'. The Crab Apple tree is out of this world. Absolutely gorgeous!!!!!
I just love your fotos, Netty! Those lilacs look so dreamy. The euphorbias are stunning. The woodpecker is a rare sight. I didn't realize they came so close to civilation. What an extra treat that pic is! Thank you loads for taking the time to take and post these great pics. I echo DaphDaph's words... MORE...MORE!
I'd love to be there and smell the lilacs, listen to the wood pecker and admire your flowers. I've got the same Euphorbia. It's got such a cheery colour.
I can smell the lilacs now, makes me want to hurry mine to open. I've always been a fan of those crab apple trees, it really is gorgeous. The Euphorbia is great, I'll have to see if that grows here...I'd love to add that to my garden as well as the Primula. The woodpecker is great. I know they are in this area, but I've only seen one once. My DH has seen two, but we've been here for 10 years so they don't come around much. Thanks for sharing yours.
