RE: Blossoms Monochrome Monday

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

Im very interested to know what an apple blossom smells like. We went to a mommy and me photoshoot for Mother’s Day where the kids also got to make bouquets for mom. During the second half I was on bouquet holding duty, and I could not stop going in for deep whiffs of that beautiful blossom smell!

Have you ever smelled crab apple flowers? It's very close to that! Those trees are much more popular versus actual fruit trees. It's a wonderful smell!

Love the mommy and me shoots, we haven't done that in a while!

We had crab apple trees when I was growing up, but I guess I never stopped to smell the blossoms??? I’m gonna keep my eyes peeled for a sample tree - lol when they’re in bloom I’ll probably cause a car accident trying to smash over and take a whiff hahaha!!

Yeah that shoot was super cool! It was paid for by this local womens’ group my wife participates in. I really didn’t want to go with them, figured I’d be a 3rd wheel/the only man/husband lol- but there wound up being others and I was just really glad to watch the kids play and see the women engaging each other. All in all it really was a lot of fun!

Yeah at this point you'll have to wait until next year sadly! Especially where you're at now. I bet crab apple blossoms are around late February, early March or middle March. For us, it's late early April to early May. They just last week ditched their flowers, so they are all done for the year. The smell of them is wonderful!

Have you discovered lilac bushes? The smell isn't as strong as that, but it's almost like that!

I love those wife group things, we did a few of them. I want to get into some more of them again so we can meet and make some friends!

I have probably(?) smelled a lilac bush? I smell everything that looks pretty, so it’s just likely it’s happened at some point, but I’ll need to work on plant identification skills to hone in on things a little better.

I’m encouraged to hear that you enjoy the those things, I was honestly a bit of a crab apple about having to go it it - although I kept it inside mostly I think, and definitely it was my every intention to convey support and love, so if it shone through at all it must’ve been minimal…anyway, I’m going to adopt into @cmplxty mode next time the opportunity comes up and plan to enjoy it!

Thanks man, it’s cool to hear from you as always!
