Signs of Spring – Fragrant, Flowering Fruit Trees

There is nothing that says spring is here as formerly leafless fruit trees covered in blossoms.

What makes it even nicer, is that different types of fruit trees often flower at different times.

In my garden, the apple trees bloom first…

After the apple blossoms fade, then pink flowers begin to open on my peach trees…

My peaches are newly planted this year.

A few feet away from my peach trees, is my orange tree that is just beginning to flower.  Orange blossoms have a most heavenly fragrance.  I wish I could bottle it up so I can enjoy it all year.

The last fruit tree, whose blossoms I enjoy are the delicate white flowers of my mother’s plum tree…

Soon, they will be covered in bright green leaves.

And before you know it, there will be delicious fruit to enjoy!

What type of flowering, fruit trees do you enjoy seeing where you live?
