Flowering Plum 'Thundercloud'
My neighborhood is pretty in pink - fluffy wispy clouds of pink blossoms! Spring is here.
The early spring has continued here in the Pacific Northwest benefits of El Nino. March came in like a lamb. I sure hope it doesn't go out like a lion. The flowering plums are in full bloom and without any rain, the pink clouds dot the hillsides and neighborhood. I feel like I'm walking in a forest of pink cotton candy.
I took my camera with me on my walk today and captured everything that was in pink. Check out what I found that was 'pretty in pink'.
Mediterranean Pink Heather
Flowering Quince
Azalea
Rhododendron
Camelia
Pieris japonica
And look what else I found! I couldn't believe it. Definitely pretty in pink.

We are behind you - I've only seen a crocus so far. I love the pinks of spring, and your photos are beautiful.
