FEATURING THREE APPLE TREES
|
An Apple Blossom Gateway into the Blueberry Field offers delicious fragrance and nectar for birds and bees. |
|
This little male Ruby-throated Hummingbird showed up earlier this year than ever before. He arrived on May 5th! |
|
Looking west through the Apple gateway up towards the house, gardens and Rock Maples |
|
While the Hummers sip nectar the Yellow-bellied Sapsucker maintains his Apple sap holes along the trunk. |
|
He's off to the Crabapple Orchard! |
|
Apple and Rock Maple trees at the edge of the North Garden just outside of the Crabapple Orchard |
|
Looks like this will be a great apple year for this older tree |
|
A male Northern Parula visits the North Garden Apple tree . . . my first sighting! |
|
The Northern Parula has the perfect bill for opening buds. |
|
What a clever bird! He will help me have pest free apples. |
Flower Hill Farm is intoxicating right now . . . even with all the rain. I will be posting simple photo posts over the next few days, so you can see what is happening.
I would like to share a new blog with you all. Carole Sevilla Brown has created yet another blog Native Plants and Wildlife Gardens. I am honored to be invited to join the team of dedicated and talented authors. I hope you can visit and see my post on an amazing Great Blue Heron rookery I visited recently.
