This is a blue daisy I bought. I think they dyed it with food coloring.

(As a side note, these two daisy photos are very popular. For anyone interested, you can now get a cross stitch pattern on Ebay.)

Here are some apple blossoms on my parent's tree.

I can't remember what these mini daffodills are called, but they're cute. From my MILs yard.

Cisterna plum is such a pretty bush. This is in front of a Wendy's we stopped at along the 6 hour drive.

These are actually some roses I captured last fall, but they went with the flower theme.

    You refer to the Cisterna Plum as a bush.
    I hope so! I’ve purchased one to plant in the flower bed on the assumption that it will not get more than 6 ft. high but some plums get much bigger. Am I safe?

    Well, I’m not an expert, but from what I’ve seen, it can be treated like a hedge and squared off as you’d like, or you can trim it out.

    And, I thought it was ‘cisterna plum’ (that’s what it was labled at the home and garden center I think) but apparently it’s known as a sand cherry or ‘Prunus cistena’. And it does grow tall if you let it but I have seen professional landscapers trimming them into whatever shape they need.

    Hoping it helps!
