Plants I'm Growing: First Blooms



Yesterday, February 4th, a single blossom on our "Flavor King" pluot tree opened, looking somewhat forlorn all alone. I don't know whether to count this as the start of blossoming for the purposes of my botanical calendar or not, but I note it here. A bloom or two opened on the "Dapple Dandy" pluot today, February 5th. First blossoms on the pale yellow miniature rhododendron on the side of the garage (bottom photo). Our first yellow daffodil bloomed today as well. The white Japanese flowering plum (Prunus mume) is in full bloom (top photo).
