Western Serviceberry: the 81st Flower of Spring & Summer!
(+2 insets!) :D
This is one the most beautiful flowering trees on our property, and like other fruit trees, the flowers come and go very quickly. Last year I meant to take pictures with my older camera and I missed the flowers, but this year I visited every few days to make sure I didn't miss the show!! Such a beauty...I didn't realize how elegant the blossoms were until I took a close look! I also had no idea what it was until I began my research tonight. When I saw pictures for Serviceberry flowers, I knew I'd found the right one! Just to be sure, I ran out the door to see how it was doing, and sure enough, there are beautiful blue and red berries growing now!! I'll be taking pictures tomorrow to share soon! :)
The Western Serviceberry is in a group of about 20 species, all of which are shrubs or small trees and is in the rose family! Serviceberries are found all over the Northern Hemisphere in temperate areas. They are edible and are said to taste a bit like blueberries with almond-flavored seeds! The berries can be made into pies and jam! I'm so excited...if there are enough ripe berries, I'll pick them and we can make a pie or put them into muffins!! :D YAYYYY!!!
