Description

The beginning of each Spring is my favorite time of year. The relief that winter will soon be over and the anticipation of all that comes with warmer weather is like opening a gift from Mother Earth. I can be looking forward to what is to come, but I have to remember to experience and enjoy the present moment . . . which these buds forced me to do! The future will be beautiful, but so is the now!

I think this is a Prairifire Crabapple tree (Malus x 'Prairifire') which is one of the showiest trees you can plant in your yard. Although it bears tiny cherry-like fruits, which are relished by birds, Prairifire Crabapple is prized more for its stunning spring display of dark-pink to red blossoms. These trees have a host of Benefits in addition to Spring beauty. After the flowers fade, Prairifire Crabapple is still colorful. Newly emerging foliage is purplish before turning green with reddish veins and stems. In autumn, the leaves turn orange for an end-of-the season color pop. I especially love the fact that birds love these trees. The apples are the size of cherries, only about one-half inch in diameter, and birds love them! Prairifire Crabapple will be a flurry of activity when the fruits mature in summer.

Thank you so much for looking at my images. I appreciate that very much.

I am very concerned with our environment and have decided to donate any money I make from any sales of this image to the ENVIRONMENTAL DEFENSE FUND.....because the Earth needs a good lawyer! We all need to speak up and support efforts to protect our environment. We will not get a second chance!
