As I post these pictures tonight, the coral colored, short, broad petals that make up these magificent flowers have almost all fallen to the ground, leaving the tree clothed in the finery of it's leaves.
But a couple weeks ago, as it's blooms transformed it into a giant orange pompom, it was all too tempting, and I gave in to capturing it over and over again!
The first flowers appear.
A zoom on the lower branches.
A couple days later
And a couple more days later, kissed by the sun!!
The tree in full bloom, with surprisingly enough, many more leaves than usually present when it's in full bloom.
A few more zooms....for me zooms are good for the soul!!
Explosive beauty!!
So peaceful looking, too!!
Lovely flowers , aren't they! Come visit us next March and see them for yourselves!!
