A Happy Little Flower
The early blossom
Frost melting off its petals
Saved by Spring's return

I have noticed the cherry trees and the almond trees have already blossomed and it's still officially winter here! Unfortunately, we do get frost at this time of the year and it's worrisome because it can destroy the flowers which will then yield fewer fruits🍒🙁

@LilMissAnonyMOUSE I wonder if any of the larger commercial growers do anything similar to vineyards with fans to move air through their orchards 🤗

That would be logical and a good preventive measure. I recall reading that grapevines go into hibernation in winter, slowing down their growth...maybe it's nature's way of protecting them. But still, heavy snow and long lasting frost can harm them so any way of preventing damage would surely be a good decision☺👍
