A native - I've forgotten what it's called, but it's so pretty in an understated way.
Blueberries in the making.
Elderflower cordial in the making
Monty's Surprise apples.
A grape flower. Haha - three of the chooks roost on the grapevine on the fence - I guess one got caught short and didn't make it to the nesting box.
One of my mother-in-law's cuttings gone crazy.
A scrap bucket avocado.
An apple tree that got blown almost down in the winter storms.
Last of the pear blossom.
Another Monty's Surprise.
Cooking apple
Nashi - 5 days ago there were just a handful of flowers out.
An apricot tree my aunt (who died about 10 years ago) grew from a stone, and gave to me in a pot. I never took it out of the pot, never got around to planting it, but still it grows.
Even the buttercups provide food - not directly for us, but the bees collect the pollen to feed the brood.
And they are so very beautiful.
