Nice. My pair is probably not all that far behind yours. Not had any flowers yet since they were transplanted here, but I’m hoping this is the year. They were a gift, so I don’t recall what variety they even are. I’m keeping an eye out for Mlokosewitschii rhizomes or plants, but they don’t show up often.
My Stella cherry (planted last year) has a few blooms on it as of a few days ago, as do my hawthorne, flowering quince, and assorted small berries I haven’t looked to see which is which of yet. My little ornamental almond has been going strong for a couple of weeks now and has more blossoms today than all of its previous years combined.
Making me happiest is that I have several seedling sorbus torminalis breaking ground as well as a couple “showy mespilus” medlar. Hopefully the potential freeze the next two nights won’t change any of that. These guys took over a year to germinate beyond the elaborate stratification process Sheffields provided. S. aria is still laughing at me from below ground, as are most of my yellowhorn. Everything else has given me signs of life except for a lone Pedro Walnut that I planted a couple months ago.

These peonies we’re planted many years ago, before we moved here (it’s my wife’s family farm). It’s pretty cool to see them pop up like that every year. They have big white flowers, quite nice. I’ll post some pics when they bloom.

Is that Prime ark freedom?
Wow that looks great! I have been thinking about growing Hall’s Beauty for its ornamental double flowers, but wasn’t sure if western trailing blackberries would do well here in central NC.

I have no idea, I bought them a long time ago, none of them are thorny.

Ok, so they aren’t flowers, but some cultivars of avocado have new foliage that is at least as pretty as a flower, like Royal-Wright:
And Brazos Belle:
The lime green of Duke has its own appeal, too:
Aravaipa is just green, though a nice deep emerald green:
