Here on my street, it's time for the trees to bloom again, and as soon as they do, the winds come and blow off all the flowers. As they will tonight. But it's pretty, so I thought I'd take a couple snaps while they're there.

Great shots Scott!  I always forget about these guys until this time each year.  They're just so nondescript the rest of the year.  But man, they sure are beautiful right now.  Thanks Scott.

Scott--

Beautiful Pyrus kawakamii!! This tree is spectacular when the early Spring weather is just right. Looks like one of those years.

Anyone here growing this tree outside of SoCal? I've seen a couple in San Antonio. It might grow OK in central and northern FL as well.

SoCal and SoFla; zone varies by location.

I was just going to ask if those were P. kawakamii. I see a few around Orlando still. Most have died off from fireblight. It seems they were planted for awhile in the late 1970's. There is a nice one around the corner flowering now but not as heavily as those in the photo. It also flowers lightly in fall.
