I confess that I posted this photo the other day, along with several other shots taken up at the allotment. But then I thought it deserves to be seen again, and on its own, and without me blethering on. So here you have it: apple blossom ~ what could be more lovely?

Yes, you’re right, it deserves to be featured – such loveliness rivals all other blossoms, I think. 🙂
Like minds. Thank you, Meredith.
I like it. I was going to use the apple blossom and the apple on another post about the number five. Maybe I’ll get around to it. Certainly plants love the five-fold symmetry.
Yes, it’s time for another of your mathematical discourses, Bumba, and I don’t think we can see too much apple blossom, and now you have me intrigued besides.
You got it. I’ll get started on that quintessential piece after my 5o’clock tea.
My absolute favorite blossom! Sadly, due to major deer population, I’ve tried and failed to grow apple trees. Luckily, I live in a part of the Hudson Valley known for its apple orchards. They’re awash with gorgeous blossoms as I write.
That sounds gorgeous, Melissa – a valley full of apple blossom.
Such a delicate pink. Lovely
It is gorgeous isn’t it. I’m a bit ashamed to say that it was only as I was taking the photo that I really looked.
Ah, proper blossom, lovely pinky-white apple blossom is so delicate. A shame it doesn’t last long. I’d really like to photograph the orchards in the Vale of Evesham, but miss it every year! They must be quite a sight and I know there is a Blossom Trail to follow.
Yes, it is REAL blossom, isn’t it, Jude. Thinking of the apples to come…
Indeed 🙂
beautiful
It is beauitiful Tish. Cannot wait for trees to bloom in the next few months.
Dainty, delicate and so very beautiful Tish. I agree it deserves a post of it’s own
Indeed. Subtle colour and a good composition. Very nice, tish.
🙂
Nothing! 🙂
