White Crabapple

White Crabapple
Malus sp.

This Crabapple had the most enticing fragrance. I shot this picture at the little farm. At 25 acres it really isn’t little but it smaller than the other farms we work on. I call it the little farm since it has a smaller garden then the others. I am not sure what variety of Crab this is and trying to figure it out was impossible. It might be 'Snowdrift' but that is just a guess. I knew that Crabapples are fragrant but this one went a little beyond what I consider normal. It was extra nice since there was a patch of white Lilacs blooming nearby and this tree was overpowering them.

Going through the archives of shot but not selected pictures I found this Orchid. (Asian Corsage Orchid, Cymbidium 'Milk Tea').


I finished another house yesterday but my appointments yielded more work so it was a wash. One of the houses I visited had a collection of yellow Rhododendrons, which I found quite interesting. I wish I had my camera with me! They will probably be done blooming by the time I get back to do the work. Sigh.

Hey, you gotta carry your little point & shoot for photo ops like the yellow Rhododendron collection. That must have been something to see! Georgeous cymbidium orchid, I like that butterscotch color a lot and lovely geranium in the previous blog. I was thinking it would be fun to have a collection of perennial geraniums.

Just wanted to let you know I'm still lurking about. I can't stay away from your wonderful flower photos.

Wish you had the camera with you the other day - I'd like to see those yellow Rhododendrons

Hello Ki,

It was unusual for me not to have my camera but that is the way this spring has been going. I have seen the yellows here and there before but never in a collection like that. That is the only color they had!

I think collecting some of the Geraniums would be fun.

Hi Wise acre, thanks for hanging in there and leaving a comment. It is nice to know people are reading.

Hi there!

Love the photos, I love apple tree blossoms, I wish I could smell this one as well as see it! (sigh)

I work from home and often spend my days in front of my computer screen, so your pictures are like a breath of fresh air! A little treat every now and then!

Bye for now,
