    Oh you're way far ahead of us ... we don't even have buds yet. It's beautiful! I can't wait for ours. :)

    I have a MacIntosh, Granny Smith and an ancient crabapple in my yard that amazes me every year that it is still alive. All are just covered in blooms this year and look so beautiful. Last year I did not get one bloom and of course no apples :thumbdown: But this year I hope to have a harvest from all those beautiful blooms. My DH bees are loving life right now with all those flowers for them to visit.

    My crabapple is just goegeous. Really loaded with blooms. In fact, all our flowering shrubs are also putting on a beautiful show this year too.

    We've lost so many of the native crabapples in this part of Alabama and they smell so wonderful!!
