Prunus mume 'ben chidori'

Very pretty

That is spectacular Sheila :o))

Thank you Sheilar and Amy . . . I'm so relieved that the buds didn't get frosted.

Wonderful :o)))

This is the one I would like for the 'japanese' corner. It's absolutely stunning! :)

Thanks Terra and Karen . . . think possibly I should have taken the pic from the side instead of above!

How about from underneath with the blue sky above? ;)

Lol, that would mean lying down on my wild flower "meadow", Karen . . . this is in the middle. And it's only about 3' high!! Otherwise - great idea . . . I almost took one through the trees above, because today the sky was such a beautiful blue. :))

What are you like? lol...you have a digi camera....hold it with your hand under the plant and point it upwards! If you keep clicking and repositioning, you eventually get the shot you're after! :))))) It always makes me laugh when people think I lay down to take the photos of the hellebores from underneath....I don't! :))

Gracious! OK, Karen, I'll know what to do next time . . . suspect I'll get plenty of duds in the process. :))

This is so pretty..:))

Try it, you might get a nice surprise! :))

Lovely Sheila...don't forget don't lay down for the shots lol...:))

Lol, Sue!
