Plants I'm growing: First Blooms--"Pink Lady" apple and "Snow Fountain" weeping cherry



The first flowers opened today on the apple tree, a "Pink Lady," (top photo) and the weeping cherry ("Snow Fountain"). In both cases only one or two isolated buds have opened. The trees are far from being in bloom. On the apple tree, the highest branches haven't even seen bud break yet. Nevertheless, I record the first open blossoms here for the purposes of my botanical calendar. The pink crabapple has many buds, but none open yet.
