neverspentApparently it has been a shockingly early spring all over North America. Here, the blossoming trees are almost finished blossoming, and it's only mid-March. The pears blew their petals a week ago, the plums are finished, and the cherries are getting started. The nectarines and apricots are long past and the peaches were in full bloom a week ago.
Petals flying everywhere!
The male pine "cones" dropped last week and the oaks are in full bloom with their hanging, beardy green flowers. In fact, today I noticed the little leaves are out, perfect, tiny, tender replicas of what they'll look like as adults.
The pollen is coming, the pollen is coming
Loblolly pine "male cones" which create pollen
