Perfect contrasting backdrop for this Don. Nicely composed and captured.

These blooms look almost too perfect to be real. You have caught them at their best Don and they look magnificant! Superb shot and lovely contrast between all the colours. Well done!

That's a super macro, Don. Nice and clear with great detail.

Wow, I guess this replaces the last ones you posted, but I don't see those in your gallery now. These are so clear and quite lovely, without a doubt and again look spectacular against the blue sky. I know there's an Orange Blossom Special, but I'm not clever enough to write lyrics. These are prized subjects for Oriental Brush Painting though.

Outstanding photo Don. Great composition and clarity. As for the song, I remember, when I was stationed in Taiwan, a patriotic song by the name of "The Plum Blossom." I do not believe the word "Special" was in the title, but am I close?

This is marvelous. I guess I've never seen a plum blossom before, so I can only tell you by loking here that this one certainly looks like it's special.

Thanks for dropping by Plum Blossom Special. Timing worked out well. It snowed the day before and the day after.

For some reason the wild plums disappeared from this area. They used to be everywhere and now I can't remember the last time I saw one. A lovely capture. Make some plum jelly in the Summer.
