Is it just me....

...or are the flowering trees really pretty this year? The magnolias were bitten by all the cold weather late. We actually had snow on the ground about a week back briefly. Flowering crabs were amazing this year and the lilacs are really going right now. Last year I bought the old farm house on the front of my place. With it I got the tree in the picture. I believe it is a Buckeye. The picture barely does it justice. One thing...seems to have a peculiar scent.

I noticed it on the lilacs this year. Lot of blooms and they lasted forever.

My wife commented the other day that this year ever blooming plant seemed to have really been extreme . The dogwoods and flowers all have beautiful blooms . Have to agree with you this has been a special spring.

Here in mid MN. the apple trees are loaded with blossoms. No way they can support all those apples if they all get pollinated.

I have the same as teddy52. Nice blossoms, and that is all over St. cloud and viewed on a road trip to NW MN. Jim

They are exceptionally beautiful in North Central ND, as well

Same here in E SD. Don't think I have ever seen the lilacs so full of blooms and last so long. What do you suppose the omen is????

A good one for all of us I hope! That fence in the picture is the edge of the farm house property and the beginning of my NE field. I chiseled it today and every time I passed by that tree I had to smile.

I have over 40 fruit trees in my yard. Plum. apple, pear, peach, apricot, cherry, chokecherry, buffalo berry. They are all loaded with pollinated small fruit. I am going to start a reduction in the buds to save the branches.

Looks like a couple of big old Horse Chestnuts on an old homestead spot on the home farm. A little quick research, and it looks like they're the same thing!

Na, that couldn't be a Buckeye in Michigan. Someone would have cut it down LOL. Just a football joke, it's a really beautiful tree, but I haven't seen that kind of flower on the buckeye trees here in Ohio.
