Alpine flora

Here and there stuff is blooming. I thought apple trees produce only every other year, but after a bumper crop last year, the tree appears to be threatening a repeat performance. I still have a bushel of dried apples left from last year. The tree is an Ein Shemer semi-dwarf.

Here's another bloom that I don't recognize. It's a happy little bush growing in the fenceline where it escapes the mower. Someone on a local plant group online suggested it's a Javelina Bush. They're probably correct.

I couldn't endure seeing photos of all the great butterflies and odes my friends are posting from Austin so I decided next week I'm going on a trip. You can follow my adventures, or misadventures, here.
