In full bloom!

I have two young apple trees in my garden. For the past two years one of the apple trees has given me a modest harvest of apples, but the other one wouldn't even blossom in spring. I had to have a stern talk with the tree that refused to bear fruit, I was relying on it for apples this year. If it gave me another year of no fruit it would have to go as I my garden is pretty small and I needed the space for another fruit tree.

Well that young apple tree obviously listened as this year it is covered in blossoms, much more than the other tree. It's taught me to have more patience with my garden. I never know what surprises it might have in store!

Hopefully the blossom is a good sign of a potential harvest later in the year, but in the meantime it's giving me plenty of inspiration whilst I sit and paint.

Beautiful, I think your tree heard you. :(

I'm going to have a stern talk to my grapevine... maybe I'll get some grapes this year!

Don't get to angry or you might scare it. :D

I might sing to it... any suggestions for a song?

Now singing would be a better idea. Tie a yellow ribbon round the odd oak tree and you can dance to it too

Haha, it is the time for maypole dancing!

Now that I would pay to see... lol

Ever the present Angel you are indeed!

That's very sweet thank you.

It is your apple blossom sweetness, must be bringing out the best in me !
Have a great eve!

Wonderful paining. I love the colours you choose to paint. They are always so fresh and shining :) Thank you for sharing, I resteemed ;)

Thank you very much @yoganarchista. The spring weather finds its way into my palette, a little bit of added sunshine!

Gives a good vibe. I am happy your tree could stay in your garden :) The story is uplifting for all gardeners who are struggeling with their trees who are to lazy to blossom.

Wonderful mixture of colors! Just right for this time of the year :)
