The sweet cherries are in full bloom (probably about 3 weeks ahead of normal). So there was a quick trip to the farm to get the first spray on and start getting ready for the new season:). I took lots of pictures because it is just so beautiful. This picture is a close up of the sweet cherry blossom.
The pink flowers on the top are from a purple leaf plum tree.
I just like the colors in this picture.
This is a trillium that was in the woods. I had to move branches or I would have taken lots more flower pictures.
Because you want to get good pollination you bring in bee hives. They are placed in various places in the orchard. It needs to be warm and not too much wind for the bees to leave the hives and go out in the orchard.
And finally the trees did get sprayed. If you live near any orchards in bloom be sure and take a drive and enjoy!
