One Last Gift From the Plum Tree


The plum tree is slowly becoming a memory...I've been taking it down bit by bit. One of the first things I did was to bring some of the small branches in and put them in jars with water. I liked the structural look of them and was hopeful they might bloom...one last time.


 
As you can see, they have begun to open and are giving us one last gift of beauty. Thank you plum tree!

Oh my. I was just talking about forcing some flowering stems. Yours are beautiful. Art in a vase.

What a great idea! I'm so happy they graced you with their beauty one last time.

That's so pretty. It reminds of Japanese drawings.

Oh, how glorious!So beautiful and "arty". As someone from the snowy north, that looks just like SPRING to me!
