Here are a few more photos of this beautiful tree under the desert sunshine. The tiny bees are happily buzzing around the tree doing their thing. When the petals drop, the tree also begins dropping its gooey, nasty berries that stain the concrete sidewalk which sucks. I have to take some water in a bucket and the stiff-bristle garage broom to get the stains off. It’s a love and hate relationship with this tree but it gives me great photos, right?
What a beautiful tree! Is it an ornamental cherry or plum?
I love that tree. The berries would be a pain, but Dan sets up his power washer for me so it is not that bad cleaning our walks and patios.
That’s the best solution but I don’t have a power washer. Would have to rent one but the stains come off nicely if they aren’t left on too long. I see even small things like this as very important for home resale and the overall appereance of the home.
No doubt! We had to get a new one last year. With a dog doing her business on sidewalks and patios, we pretty much need one.
It’s cheaper to re-home the dog! 😂
NOOO… 😧
Ha, I knew I’d get you with that comment! 😂
Love this one Purple is my favourite
Thanks! I think that most women really love purple, I do too. I am so colorblind, if those petals are purple then I obviously can see it in the flowers.
Lol
When we had a tree like this in our courtyard I would collect the petals and put them in a large beautiful glass container. They were very pretty. You are so lucky to have this lovely tree surrounding you.
Thanks, Sylvia! I should get one more set before they all fall down. 🌹
Happy to see that the bees are enjoying the blossoms. They sure are pretty. Bummer about the mess they make!
I love the sound of the bees, that gentle humming sound they all make at one time. Buzzzzzz!

Tree blossoms are such a pretty sign of spring.
I agree! There are some much larger trees in the area that are bloomed out, I need to stop and get the photos!
So pretty.
Hi Rebecca, thank you! I hope haven’t had any booming T storms again. Your dog gets so scared! 🥺
