The star of our Spring garden
She’s a beauty, isn’t she? I can’t think of a better compliment to a blue sky. It’s turned rather chilly now, but I’ve sat beneath our Amelanchier on every possible occasion this Spring. Join Debbie with a smile and Six Words this Saturday.

Oh yes, I agree, she is beautiful. The blue skies add to it, of course, but I imagine she still looks lovely in the rain. 🙂

She’s flowered so well this year, Elaine, but the petals are now all over the lawn. A short life, but fabulous 🙂 🙂

It such a shame when the petals all fall. I often think that about pink cherry blossom – it looks so lovely on the tree but then there’s often some very windy weather and we get a fall of pink snow. 😦

Gorgeous set of photos Jo – must confess I hadn’t heard of amelanchiers before so I have just looked them up and apparently they have many names including sugarplum or wild plum (so that must be where the sugar plum fairy takes her name from?). The backdrop against the blue sky is so beautiful. Just put the link for my “walk” offering onto last week’s Monday Walk comments section. No problems if it’s too late for this week just whenever and hope you have a lovely weekend! 🙂

I had to look up Amelanchier. It seems a common name is Serviceberry. (It’s drop-dead gorgeous, by the way)! I’m on a crusade to try to reduce the number of invasive species here at the new house at the edge of the forest and serviceberry is considered a native around here, so I may be searching for it in the coming months. Wouldn’t it be marvelous if it turned out to be as gorgeous as your specimen?
