I remember a teacher telling me his toddler ATE the flowers in his garden! Hope it doesn’t come to that! That’s a lovely picture of your apple blossom. 😀
I had that problem with his mother…my own fault, really, as I showed her the mints when she was very small. Angel is very into nibbling on the lemon balm right now 🙂
Mine is fine, too, but it’s curly. Makes for good body but it’s more fragile. *sigh* We just can’t win. I can plant an apple tree, though. Do they have any hardy citrus trees that would survive an RH winter?
I’m smiling…our posts about the apples blossoms are on the same day with almost the same title. I just don’t have any little ones picking flowers at our home. 🙂 Good luck with the teaching.
Beautiful blossom shot, Marie. I’ve a feeling there’ll be plenty of lessons to be learned this Summer and not only will the teacher have a new pupil but an assistant, as well.
I love that differentiation: “for picking” and “for growing” – perfect! I love the subtle pink of apple blossoms. Nothing show-off-ish there – and yet…gorgeous!
Worth waiting for though – beautiful blossom. Good luck with the ‘which flowers to pick and which to leave’ training – took me years with my kids…
Indeed worth waiting for…this is the heaviest bloom we’ve had in a few years!

Aw, sweet little guy. He’ll get it. Those apple blossoms are lovely. Now I want an apple tree!
Ahhh, but I want your citrus trees!
(Is this the big-girl version of wanting any kind of hair other than the type you were born with? 😉 )
I probably want your hair too.
Limp and fine? Nah…I’d take yours, it has good texture!

They’d survive the winter, but never fruit if we grew them outside…it takes such a long season to ripen citrus.
They are just so beautiful he wants them for himself!!!
Cute!

He wants them for his Mommy…”I picking flowers, Grandmom. A surprise for Mommy…”
My floor is covered in wilted dandelions 🙂

Thanks, Karen. This is the heaviest bloom I’ve seen in several years…Let’s hope it means a great season!
I know what you mean…the trees are literally covered in blossoms this year.
Beautiful apple blossoms! I see beautiful apples in your future.
Oh, I’m hoping, Brenda! The last two years have been disappointing…

The Assistant has a few things to learn, too…I find myself saying “You are NOT the enforcer!” multiple times in a day… 🙂

The petals have started to fall on the big trees…Angel was showering in them yesterday, and stuffing them into my pockets 🙂
It can be hard to teach teenage girls too, who thought a plant I had been growing over a fence for years and years was a weed and hacked it to pieces.
