My skies were alternating blue and grey yesterday.  The fruit trees in bloom would have looked better against blue, but the skies were changing when I went outside. 

First, the pluot Flavor Supreme. A pluot is a a hybrid, most often 75% plum and 25% apricot.  The fruit is deep red.

This is an unknown sort of plum, and I doubt it is true to whatever the parent plant was.  It sprouted from a cut off stump after I moved in.  

A little tree came up on its own a few years ago. I  didn't notice it until it was several feet tall and blooming.  It might be a kind of plum.  The leaves are darker, but not like a flowering plum's purple leaves, just slightly purple.

The hyacinth only has four flowers this year.  I can still smell them as I walk by. 

A nice anemone blanda.

Tete-a-Tete daffodils are all blooming now, some flowers are already dying back. 

A different kind of crocus from my others is open.  I like the stripes.

Yesterday may have been grey part of the time, but it was fairly warm (61°) and the birds were happy. 

Have a nice weekend.

Oh, have any shadow shots?  Come back Sunday and join the Shadow Shot Sunday blog hop!  Just post a shadow and link it here!
