Flowering Crabapple Tree



With Spring well underway, my beautiful Flowering Crabapple tree is bursting forth in lovely, burgundy-colored leaves. In a few weeks, it will be covered with incredible pink blossoms, making it one of the most beautiful trees on the property. Right now, though, it is just waking from its Winter slumber, and already is providing shade for the small brick patio off the family room. It makes a lovely background looking out from inside the house. It's in its "Clark Kent" mode now, though--quietly sitting back in a beige overcoat and oversized black glasses, waiting for the signal to turn into something truly spectacular, its true identity.
