This Week at Iten's Acres: Burst of Color Week May 4, 2015

It's going to be burst of color week at The Acres. The redbud are in full bloom. The flowering almond are at their pink fluffy best. The crab apples--red and white--are exploding. The old apple tree is a cloud of white. The pears are pinkish white clouds of their own. The old dogwood should be in its full white regalia by the end of the week. The flowering plum with their deep purple leaves and starry white blooms are out. Pink dogwood and magnolia are on the verge. And!!!! the first iris bloomed. A dwarf bronze and blue. Pictures will come when it stops raining. Takes me an hour to creep down the driveway and take it all in. That and I'm old and slow.
