Regular readers and perusers of this blog will be aware that my apple tree is named Huey Lewis. This is what he looked like a month ago:-
Around the 19th of May he was growing these cool like reddy pink bud things
They were all down his branches
About three days later they opened up into these lovely white flowers
At this juncture I'd like to introduce Doreen two spots
She's a ladybird, I like to think she provides 'security' for Huey Lewis, eating up greenfly and aphid type dudes who might be causing him trouble.
Anyhoo, so them buds keep blossoming
and about a week later they've done their thing and start to shed their petals.
And then, well, if the bumblebees and dirty pollen spreading insects have done their job then the dead blossomy bits will turn into apples.
If not, then we're just left with the memory of those happy times at the end of May when Huey Lewis tried so hard.
