Remembering February in Sacramento with the blooming of Almond trees!
Almond trees bloom from mid-February to Mid-March in California, reminding us that spring is near!

I’ve seen lots of almond trees as I’ve traveled through Northern California but I don’t think I’ve ever seen them in bloom. Lovely!

[…] We’re in New Zealand at the moment and there is a blaze of colour in Christchurch. The Botanic Gardens had a stunning collection of dahlias, which I’m sharing in Terri’s Flower Hour. […]

The blossoms are gorgeous! This might be an embarrassing question, does this tree produce the almond nut? 🤔

Thank you, Ritva. If you ever heard of the Blue Diamond almond brand, they grow in Sacramento, Northern California. A great way to break up the February gloom. 🌸

Thank you, Anne! A blast from the past, 2017 to be exact. After such overcast/foggy winters in Sacramento, the almond blossoms in February brightened up the landscape. And my mood 😳
