With the arrival of spring and warmer weather, I have been waiting for the Crabapple tree (Mrs. Krabappel) that I planted last year to flower.
As of May 5th, there were no flowers, but the leaves were a nice bright red.
I have been checking daily, as other trees in the neighborhood were blooming all around. I was beginning to wonder if Mrs. Krabappel would even flower this year.
However, this afternoon I discovered the first bloom.
Now I will wait and see what the next few days offer. I'm hoping to see more blooms.
