Plants I'm growing: First Blooms--Isopogon, Bosc pear, crabapple

Spring is really here. Every day brings a number of new plants coming into bloom. Today the first blossoms opened on the deep pink crabapple (unfortunately, I can't remember the name of the variety), on the Bosc pear, and on the Isopogon formosus we have. The flowers on this last, an unusual Australian plant, open progressively, so it's hard to say exactly when a flower is in full bloom, but I note the plant today because the flowers are starting to look more flower-like than not. Even the tightly closed buds are attractive on this plant.
