It’s Fruit Blossom Time

Blossom Time is one of my very favourite times of the year, when fruit trees and bushes are filled with the simple beauty of their un-fussy flowers and the promise of good, fruity things to come.

Here’s a quick gallery of some of the fruit blossom I’ve been thoroughly enjoying of late.

The plant is only a couple of years old and has just reached flowering maturity, so hopefully I’ll find out later in the year.
