Yes I do too. I still haven't planted all my sale plants from Ozark Nursery from last fall. One is a tree peony. The others are coneflowers. I have a very fragrant clove currant blooming and the crab apple tree which has a sweet fragrance. I am seeing a yellow swallow tail butterfly. It likes the stinky mushroom compost. Isn't it amazing how fast weeds grow. No wonder I get behind.

Helen, I just saw these on your album and wondered what they were.

I am so glad you posted this! They are just glorious.

I have never seen more flowers on a tree as you have on yours.

I posted last winter about the birds eating the tiny apples. I know now why I don't have pictures of the whole tree. The old barn roof is rusty and it looks junky so you don't get to see that. The tree is good. It hums. I trim the branches so they are above my head, but when these trees were small bees were a hazard. My mother gave me one of them that I dug up at her house. She had it by her door and was afraid of the bees. I like the tree and bees stay on the blossoms but anyone considering planting one should know all. It blooms every year for a short time then snows petals which are pretty coming down. It has had no borers, no pests and I never water it. I am sure I did when it was young.
