Three years ago we planted this adorable little flowering crab apple tree at our house…the old house. This little bugger WOULD NOT flower. I think the first year we planted it I maybe saw two flowers, but now I can't remember. The following season…NOTHING. I was going to be so upset if that darn tree wasn't really a flowering crab. (Yes, I would have driven by next season to check on its flowering status.)

But thankfully, right before we moved out…and I mean two days….this tree finally flowered for me!

So pretty! Now I don't have to stalk the tree next year! You are probably wondering if I'll plant another at my new house and wait anxiously for years for it to flower. Of course, I will. Ok. Well, I don't know what trees we are going to pick yet, but if we pick a flowering crab, I will be out checking for buds every day! I am a little nuts! 🙂
