After a much delayed spring in my area,(we are running about 3 weeks late)the crabapple and magnolias are finally starting to bloom. When I was in Iowa this weekend, the crabapples there also started popping just in time for my niece's wedding. This is the darkest color of crabapple which is called red in garden catalogs but it's a beautiful rose shade I think. All comments and critiques appreciated.

Dear Kathy,
I have had very similar posts and I do love them little purple crab apple blossoms - they are wonderful and universal.
Top range of course [8/10-10/10].

Quite pretty. I love the colors of the leaves too. I planted one of these in the front yard of our former house. New owners got to enjoy it anyway.

Beautiful flowers and capture, Kathy. Very nice purple tint all in the frame. Good work. Of course high note on VB ;)

I love this shade very much! The color of the blossom, leaves and branches seem to match each other. Makes for a great shot!
