Paw Paw blooms

The paw paw trees are covered with blooms this year. Even trees with small diameter trunks have more blooms than they can possibly produce fruit. If only ten percent of the blooms produce fruit, there would be more fruit than in any of the previous seven years. The following pictures show the mass of purple blooms which are about one inch in diameter.

And, the first tick of Spring arrived on April 11, can Summer be far behind?

March Blooms

The early daffodils peeked out above ground the first days of March and survived the snowfall that occurred few days later.

After the snow melted they continued to grow.

Then, in late March they bloomed!
