Spring Almond Blossom
A few weeks ago, I took a walk, my first for a little while, to see the spring blossoms out. Perhaps the most striking change was when I walked past this old almond (prunus dulcis) tree which had exploded into blossom as the weather changed to become more spring like.
Spring has finally spung in Melbourne, and with a few mild and sunny days and some recent heavy rain, the gardens of Melbourne’s suburbs have awoken from their winter slumbers and burst into an array of beautiful colours in many different floral forms.
This year the FFF+ Group have decided to have a weekly challenge called “Snap Happy”. A different theme chosen by a member of the group each week, and the image is to be posted on the Monday of the week.
This week the theme, “up-close/macro” was chosen by Andrew, ajhaysom.
This Prunus almond blossom seemed a lovely bright, happy and beautiful choice. I hope that you think so too.
The almond is a species of tree native to Iran and surrounding countries but widely cultivated elsewhere. The almond is also the name of the edible and widely cultivated seed of this tree.
