Plants I'm growing: First Blooms: Santa Rosa Plum

Last year I planted a small Santa Rosa plum as a pollinator for our pluot trees ("Dapple Dandy" and "Flavor King"). The tree is still just a stick, but its first blooms opened today. I'm happy to see that the blooms overlap with the flowering of the trees it was intended to give a boost to.

 If the rain ever stops, the bees may get out and do some pollinating.
