Thank you for the beautiful pictures of the squirrel and the flowers, spatz!

Yesterday (07.04.) I saw the espalier fruit tree in neighbours garden.
It was a joy, to take the pictures of the old apple tree.

I love apple blossoms. where I live, the cherry blossoms begin to fail, the plum trees are blooming and the apple trees are dark pink.

The following pictures I have taken in our garden: April 7th

Pennisetum alopecuroides = in German "Lampenputzergras" =Chinese Pennisetum
Few days ago the grass was cut off.
An animal had spent the winter in it - probably a hedgehog.


Aubrieta = in German "Blaukissen"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aubrieta

[Riitta]

Taraxacum sect. Ruderalia = in German "Löwenzahn"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taraxacum_officinale

The head in full bloom looks so nice, in the lawn, too!


...and here - ?


Primula veris = in German "Echte Schlüsselblume"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primula_veris
It appears suddenly in the lawn this year.


A spot of color after the winter.

Clematis montana = in German "Bergwaldrebe"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clematis_montana

It starts to blossom - wonderful. I like it!




Viburnum opulus "Roseum" = in German "Gefüllter Schneeball"
With its attractive white blossoms in the spring it was a magnet for bees in the last years!

[Riitta]

Prunus serrulata 'Amanogawa' = in German "Säulenzierkirsche"
The tree is with many pink-white blossoms in the spring an eye-catcher!
