Some honeyberries have blooms! Planted them last year and and they didn’t do a bit of growing last year, but now some have already sent up six inches of growth.

Honeyberries don’t care much about below freezing temps unless they’re a lot below freezing.
I started a few Golden berries from store bought seeds.
They’re probably very leggy from growing in a window after getting a couple true leaves. I’m probably going to cut the top half off and try to root the cuttings. Or just bury them deep.

Bell pear.
It appears to have the earliest bloom time compared to Ambrosia and Harvest Queen. All three pears mature mid-August in the following order: Bell, Harvest Queen, Ambrosia. Bell’s earlier bloom might be important factor to consider for some of us. You can see some freeze damage on tight cluster below.

Weeping Santa Rosa fruit set. I’ve had this tree for 6 years. Usually I get one or two dozen fruit. This year I’d guess 50-60.
The fruit is nicely spaced without need for much thinning.

Just off my back yard… in the edge of the woods… I have a group of a dozen or so wild azalea… some pink some white.
This is the first one out this spring.
They are beautiful and the most fragrant wild flowers I know of.

Feijoa flowering at Bok Towers Garden. They have a big one, probably 10-15ft tall.
Bonus picture from one of the highest natural points in Florida (298 ft). You can see a little hill on the horizon in the picture, thats a phosgypsum stack 25 miles away. In person you can see it clear as day.
