After losing all of its blossom (and future fruit) last year due to a late cold snap, our apple tree outdid itself this year, with an abundance of blossom. These pictures were taken over the course of a week or so, when it was at its peak. The blossom is well gone already, and the tiny fruits are already beginning to develop. I love that the little ''swatch'' at the bottom of the apple is the remnant and product of each of these beautiful flowers.
