Ornamental Plum
I mentioned the Ornamental Crabapple tree that is on the property, but there's also another ornamental fruit tree here: an Ornamental Plum! The blossoms are pretty, and bear resemblance to the blossoms of many other fruit trees.These flowers are white when they first open, turn pink as they age a bit, then turn a dark burgundy color prior to withering. When the leaves appear, they are of the same dark color the blossoms had become, a very dark burgundy.
Plums have always been one of my favorite fruits, and I enjoy all varieties (black plums, red plums, Damson plums, etc.) whether fresh or dried into prunes. I usually keep a packet of prunes in my cupboard at all times and enjoy them with oatmeal for breakfast sometimes!

The flower is so beautiful! Matches the colour of your fingernails :D
Beautiful!
Thank you for calling the minnowsupport vote! 😊
My pleasure!
SUCH a beautiful flower and the petals look so delicate!
These are almost the same color as my favorite, the Japanese cherry blossom! But they are all beautiful!

Beautiful flower. So delicate and fragile. I also like plums very much.

So pretty! It really is a joy to get outside and take in all of flowery spring displays right now! Though my orchids took a little longer to bloom this year, too, so I have some lovely flowers to enjoy inside right now! :)
The plum flowers look lovely! Does the ornamental plum tree make fruits too or just the flowers?
No fruits. The term "ornamental" in the name means that it bears no fruit (or they're too small to be usable). I've never seen fruit on this tree, sadly!
