April showers bring May flowers! Here are some photos of the flowers I’ve encountered this spring and summer. If you like them & want a higher res, feel free to write!
More blue daisies
This is a blue daisy I bought. I think they dyed it with food coloring.
Sunflowers at my in laws. See the fly?
(As a side note, these two daisy photos are very popular. For anyone interested, you can now get a cross stitch pattern on Ebay.)
Here are some apple blossoms on my parent's tree.
Pretty pink and white tulips as found in my mother in laws yard in Utah
Here's a new spring pinecone hanging from a tree here in Vegas
Can you see the bee? It looks really cool at higher resolutions.
Some of my mom's lilacs. I love lilacs
A cool purple iris. Irises look so royal...
Firey orange and red tulips from my mother in law's yard
I can't remember what these mini daffodills are called, but they're cute. From my MILs yard.
Cisterna plum is such a pretty bush. This is in front of a Wendy's we stopped at along the 6 hour drive.
These are actually some roses I captured last fall, but they went with the flower theme.
The true herald of summer

You refer to the Cisterna Plum as a bush.
I hope so! I’ve purchased one to plant in the flower bed on the assumption that it will not get more than 6 ft. high but some plums get much bigger. Am I safe?

Well, I’m not an expert, but from what I’ve seen, it can be treated like a hedge and squared off as you’d like, or you can trim it out.
And, I thought it was ‘cisterna plum’ (that’s what it was labled at the home and garden center I think) but apparently it’s known as a sand cherry or ‘Prunus cistena’. And it does grow tall if you let it but I have seen professional landscapers trimming them into whatever shape they need.
Hoping it helps!
