Beautiful May

Here is a road I walk every day. This photo is from yesterday, but this morning, when I passed this way, an oriole flew into an apple tree (not visible in this picture) and seemed to be sniffing the blossoms. Maybe it was sipping nectar. Maybe it was nibbling the petals. Maybe it was listening to whispered secrets--I don't know.



These are not the apple blossoms that the oriole was getting intimate with, but these are apple blossoms I especially love, because they're on a tree I grew from a seed.



Beautiful May ♥

So much green!!! I love it! This time of year, much of our green has already turned brown. :(

If you plant an apple tree from a seed (which I think is totally wonderful), does it need another apple tree to cross-pollinate in order to have fruit? What kind of apple tree is it?

You live around so much beauty.

I believe it does need another apple tree, but there are so many apple trees around that that's not a problem.

I can't recall what kind of apple I planted the seed from! Maybe a Northern Spy, as I love those sorts of apples, and those trees produce fruit only every other year, a pattern this one seems to be following.
