The middle of May is the time for flowering trees here on the shores of Georgian Bay. From Magnolias to Apples, the flowers come out and the bees are buzzing. This is truly a beautiful time of year!
The very large Magnolia around a couple of blocks is the most spectacular that I have to share. Gorgeous but its petals start to fall all too soon.
Our neighbours have a much smaller but deeper purple Magnolia.
Our own Magnolia, after several years of depredation by our resident rabbit, has started to bloom more seriously. This is a star Magnolia.
Of course there are flowering Crab Apples all over town, perhaps the most common of our flowering trees.
Another neighbour's Serviceberry remains the only one I have seen in town, though you often see these in rural fencerows.
And the most extensive of all outside of town are of course the Apple trees, orchards and orchards of them.
