| Pink almond blossom |
Most almond trees in my area have whitish blossom but I did find some pink almond blossom. And no, I didn't fiddle with the colours on Picasa!

| White almond blossom |
The almond blossom quickly gave way to foliage and little almonds that resemble small peaches.

At the moment it is the citrus trees here that are covered in white blossoms.

| Tangerine blossom |
Around my house there is one enormous orange tree, two tangerine trees and a small lemon tree, all releasing heavenly scent into the air.

I wish it was slightly warmer so I could open the windows and invite the fragrance into the house.

ReplyDeleteThank you, Jake. I really enjoyed doing this challenge.
DeleteYou have so much blossom on your tangerine tree!
ReplyDeleteI am over the moon if I have a few flowers on our lime and lemon tree. If I ever get that much blossom I'd be in orbit!
It looks like snow on that tree, doesn't it? Well, I can't explain it. The tree was here when I bought the house and it has never been like this!
DeleteIn contrast, my small lemon tree has ONE blossom only.
What beautiful blossoms! You are right - the colour of Nature does not require any fiddling!
