Autumn Flowering Cherry



It is such a beautiful day today at the nursery.  We have been swamped with customers and calls and everyone is in a hurry.  Perhaps, it is because the weather forecast hints of cold weather next week.  

While out tagging trees for an order shipping tomorrow, I saw this wonderful Autumn Flowering Cherry.  The clusters of blush pink flowers look so beautiful against the blue sky.

Autumn Flowering Higan Cherry, Prunus subhirtella 'Autumnalis', actually flowers heavily in the spring with an occasional lighter flowering during a warm period in the fall.  The green summer leaves were orange and bronze earlier this fall.  It is a fast growing tree that will mature 30 x 30'.

Botanical Shots

My husband and I have been working on this website for about a year. Botanical Shots is an online plant guide for nursery stock cold hardy in zones 4-6. It features plant profiles with photographs and descriptions. Though we still have some fine tuning to do, I'm so excited about the work we have done that I wanted to share it and get your ideas for improving Botanical Shots. Please share your thoughts and help us fine tune things. It is best used in Internet Explorer - sorry Firefox fans!

A Garden Journal features photographs of plants and stories of gardens.
