Blooming Right Now

I've been seeing these chartreuse blooms around town. At first I thought they were just spring green emerging leaves. I asked CH about them and she said they were probably Norway Maples. I never considered the blooms of the Maples being very significant- but look along Reed Market Rd and you'll be entranced by the yellow hue. Kind of a nice contrast to the white and pink





Prunus family blooms that are just finishing up.  The gnarly bark always seems out of place to me with the delicate blooms.








Look also for the Ornamental Pears that are showing off right now. Beautiful display in the Cascade Village Mall. Also young  Callery Pear all along OB Riley.
