High Altitude (Mystery) Flowering Trees

Some kind of Flowering Cherry Tree

It being Memorial Weekend and all, Mother Nature decided to jog our memory as to who's really in charge.

Some kind of Flowering Plum Tree

It rained. Buckets. Barrels, actually. No camping, no BBQs, no horsin' around, no nothing.

A Sour Apple Flowering Tree
(Not sure what kind of apple but the horses just love 'em!)

Timing really is everything. I love a good rainy day. But, I don't particularly care for torrential downpours when we're hoping to do some camping.

Flowering Almond. So, there. I'm not a complete idiot. (Except that this is a bush, not a tree.)

I wasn't thrilled but my garden was jumping for joy. This deluge inspired fresh flowers from just about everyone.

Haven't a clue.

If you're gonna be a tree at my place, you need to do more than just stand around and look green.

Seconds after I snowed the bank into approving my home mortgage, I started planting flowering trees all over the place. They are 6 years old, now, and acting like grown ups. I just wish I had acted like a grown up when I bought them and saved their plant i.d. tags. Would be nice to know who and what they are!
