The Double Flowering Plum or Prunus triloba ‘Multiplex’ burst into bloom. Some people call this shrub a Double Flowering Almond.
It rained a bit and the blooms popped open. We didn’t get much rain…we could use more.
I love the delicate double blossoms that look like little roses.
I have seen better form…but this one survives next to the woods without extra water or care.
It always blooms between the time of the Pin Cherries and the Chokecherries.
We do not have plums around the farm but they sure are beautiful. Hug B
ReplyDeleteHi Chance, You are looking handsome among the pretty blooms. We had one of these growing at Nalley Valley. I never knew what it was! Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty shade of pink, and so frilly. I have the old-fashioned wild plums and they have been loaded with blossoms for the last week, more so than most years. I wonder if that means anything weatherwise.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty. And how nice that these flowering trees mostly come along before the other trees have their full plumage so we can appreciate them that much more.
ReplyDeleteIt sure is a pretty tree and Chance looks so handsome lying beneath it. I hear you about the rain. We had rain the other day but not nearly enough. Went to plant flowers at the cemetery last night and the ground was bone dry. Have a great weekend and Happy Mother's Day.
ReplyDeleteThat bloom is as pretty as a rose! I do love the flowering trees.
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me of a pink begonia, too. And Chance is looking quite spiffy. :-)
ReplyDeleteThose really do look like roses, or as DJan mentioned maybe a tiny begonia. Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteMorning, such a pretty flower, looks very beautiful in bloom.Blessings Francine.
ReplyDeleteMy friend has one by her front door, but it hasn't bloomed yet. It has a lovely, delicate bloom.
ReplyDeleteIt really is a full bloom with all the layers of petals. I remember a lot of flowering things along the roads but most of them were the simple wild plum.
ReplyDeleteI'm assuming this is a volunteer plant. I know of several in the woods here. they're kind of surprising to find in the bush.
ReplyDeleteHi Red, It is a shrub I planted about 15 years ago.
DeleteI don't think ether one are wild-- Chance and the plum are great looking.
ReplyDeleteChance looks darn good with those blossoms!

These are sooo gorgeous. One of the best things about spring. Love your header too!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful time of the year, isn't it? I love the color that has popped from the flowering trees. Chance's whites still look white!
ReplyDeleteSpring color is always welcomed, especially there in your harsh climate.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty blossoms!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous tree! Does it produce real plums? I need to get up North soon so I can get my "orchard" planted. They take years to mature. I want one of those for sure!
ReplyDeleteNope it is sterile, only blooms no plums:)
