Red Maple Blossoms

For a long time I knew there were flowering trees. You know the ones, cherry , apple , magnolia , dogwood... Never did I give a thought to the fact that other trees have flowers too. The maples that grow here are red maples with red flowers. Flowers on sugar maples are green.

Anyway as promised, the blossoms are open, now that the weather has gotten so gorgeous. It's a great day to be in the garden . Right now we're in for lunch and a blog, but the garden is calling with things to be done. It's a fine day to be outdoors.
