My mother had a love for flowering trees. It's a love that she passed along to me, although I don't have as many, nor so many unusual (hard to find) flowering trees. Our Thundercloud Plums have just started to bloom. They remind me of puffy clouds or pink cotton candy! It won't be long until the dogwood, crabapple, and cherry trees start to bloom too! I can hardly wait! Sometimes I enjoy taking my cup of tea to the front porch, where I sit and sip while I observe the flowering trees and all the life around them. Have you noticed how they attract squirrels, bees, and birds?
Trees are such an important part of our existence. This poem author so aptly expresses my feelings too!

{Here's a link to some of my mother's favorite trees and shrubs]
One day I shall buy some land
Plant countless seeds
And watch them grow
Into beautiful flowering trees
A cool breeze
Will bring me
Sweet fragrances
From a thousand flowering trees
I shall listen
To the songs
From birds perched
In the tall flowering trees
I shall play
With my children and theirs
In the vast expanse of green
Amongst beautiful flowering trees
One day I shall rest
Passing into oblivion
My ashes scattered
Amidst the beautiful flowering trees
