Single tree with 2 types of Crab Apples.
Len-
Very nice pix. Are there branches from another tree grafted into this one, or is it growing with two colors of flowers naturally? Very cool. I’ll post a few non FF, but still nature pix for fun too.
(no idea what kind of flower this is-maybe some of you know?)
is Virginia Blue Bell
Grafted I believe…
Blossoms are too varied.
Mind if I post a few too? They aren’t much. These were all taken with an older HP digital camera that isn’t much, but it did a good enough job on them.
I was experimenting with the Iris pics. They came out well.
This is a much older photo of a Redbud, a Pine and a Peach tree growing close together at the end of the driveway.
Confederate Violets
I think this is called a “Burning Bush”… Not 100% sure though.
Hope you don’t mind me posting these! Sometimes I just can’t help myself.
Hey Guys -
Those are some GREAT photos. Really enjoyed walking down that lane !!

joerogrz,
Your last picture-the red blooms-is a Japonica. At least that is what it’s called here. Many local names for the same plant sometimes.

My grandfather was an orchardist in Dutchess Co. NY an dhad one special tree in the yard he had grafted with 26 varieties of apples. But to make it even more unusual he had grafted a large number of roses on the tree in many colors and blooming times. The tree was constantly changing through the summer as different roses bloomed and the apples grew and matured.
Some strange tree things happened the spring after he died. His grafted apple tree simply and suddenly decided not to leaf out and a row of dogwoods planted by him to hold the spring bank also died. My uncle knows of no other trees in the woodlot that died that year. My great-great grandfather bought the farm in the late 1880s.

liked the white blossoms better than the red.
Nice pics guys!!
Here is a friend from our garden last year:
I really had to look close.
What kinda critter is inside that flower?
That looks to me like a little spider. Very cool!
It is a spider that ambushes it’s prey. I have run into them from time to time in shades of yellow to bright orange. It is a little unnerving when you go to pick a nice flower and it suddenly moves. 
This one was in some Marigolds we planted around the vegetable garden that were supposed to help keep the bugs out. Now we know how they do that, not with their own ability, but because of the ‘friends’ they transport. . . . .
The kids got a kick out of it and named it ‘charlotte’ just like all the spiders we find.
