From its winter slumber, nature erupts in action. We had a beautiful crab apple in one of our former homes. Not long after we left, the poor tree doing no harm was cut down.
The marsh marigold reminds me a bit of lesser celandine, a common wildflower here. I think they're both in the buttercup family but otherwise not very closely related.
Yes, lesser celadine is all over at least the US Northeast, commonly mistaken for the native that it is pushing out. Considered a noxious invasive, but I still think they're charming.
Crab apples trees are just the best. They have the prettiest blossoms. The one across the street is giving up its petals, I will miss all of the pink.
ReplyDeleteWow! All of these photos.

DeleteYour photos are beautiful. I remember crabapple trees growing up in upstate New York. They aren't so common where I live now.
ReplyDeleteThose pink flowers are gorgeous!
