    Here's my first ever apple blossoms. If the fruit is as tasty as the bloom is pretty... I'll be jumpin' up & down!

    Apple Blossoms :) ooooooh!! They smell so good. We won't have apple blossoms till May. They look so pretty too. The bees will make sure you have great apples.

    Cheryl these look so good. I hope that they go on to develop into very tastey fruits for you.

    OO lovely. We won't be seeing apple blossom for a few months but seeing yours cheers me up no end. I hope you have a heavy crop from your tree. You must show us pics of the fruits when they're ripe.

    I won't see blooms on my apples until mid May either! I'm glad someone has blooms!

    Since I just planted this tree, there won't be any fruit to eat this year. I was told to make sure to pluck off any signs of fruit the first year so the tree will put all of it's energy into it's root system. But I may be tempted to let "just one" ripen? ;)

    Lovely blossoms, this is the very first time I see apple blossoms, thanks Cherylad.

    Those blooms are beautiful. I would be tempted to let just one ripen too.
