Steve Foss Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Someone forgot to tell the Hopa crabapple tree in our back yard that May, not September, is the time it's supposed to flower. Definitely been a strange summer. We just found these blossoms today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dockothebay Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Maybe we're gonna get a "do over"!!! I'd be happy to try again Lovely blossoms, no matter what month it is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdsong Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Wow! That's amazing. But if we get a do-over can we make it 50 degree highs and low humidity? Please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polarsusd81 Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Uh, umm, wierd. That pretty much explains the summer we have had. Cool shots though Steve. I like the first one better than the second. Just has more pop to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Foss Posted September 9, 2009 Author Share Posted September 9, 2009 Thanks, folks. Tom, they both were basically documentary grab shots, and I took the second one to show the strangeness of ripe crabapples in the same frame as the blossoms.

polarsusd81 Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 I didn't mean to come off as the shots were wierd, but rather that the tree was blossoming right next to the ripening crab apples. Sorry if that was how you took it, not the intent at all. Dang interweb misunderstandings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finnbay Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 It has been a strange summer all around. This is just one more example of it. Makes me wonder what this winter has in store for surprises. Thanks for posting this, Steve! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Foss Posted September 10, 2009 Author Share Posted September 10, 2009 Makes me wonder what this winter has in store for surprises. Unseasonal warmth, one hopes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surface Tension Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 If the blossoms got pollinated you should have fresh apples in January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Foss Posted September 10, 2009 Author Share Posted September 10, 2009 You know, I bet they did. The tree is right next to a stand of black oil sunflower blossoms, and the bees have been buzzing around those sunflowers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
