A couple of days ago, the two columnar apple trees near my patio looked like this, not quite blooming. Wonder what two warm and sunny days will do?

Bluebells and forget-me-nots, a pruned grapevine, and two columnar apple trees almost in bloom. Scallions (green onions) blooming at lower left, and a multi-graft plum tree in the distance.

There was a sunbreak. The tree on the left is a Japanese magnolia showing how the hard rain we had knocked a lot of the petals off, and on the right is pink dogwood, getting ready to bloom. In front are three hydrangeas, just sticks still, and a red azalea just starting.
