Tis the season for flowering trees, and this week belongs to the Crabapples (Malus.)
The one in the back LipsYard buds out in bright fusia, then pops into a snow white blossom.
In the front LipsYard, the more mature Crabapple has a pinkish tint to the Blossom.
They are truly spectacular, and the entire neighborhood is alive with blossoms. A road trip to Whitnall Park in Hales Corners, WI to see all their flowering crabs is worth the $4 a gallon gas we've seen blossoming all over town.
