This year's blossoms have been quite numerous on most of the plants and trees. We all know now that was not a good thing for the fruit trees in our area, Thankfully the big basswood held out for its "usual" time to bloom. It probably helped that it is tucked in between our house and the pine windbreak. The main tree is so tall we only get to see the blossoms as they land on our deck but the smaller tree beside it will share a few blooms closer to ground level.
