OMGeorge!

Remember George? M referred to him as a "retard tree" all of last year, even after he put on a lovely fall show -- which turned out to be nothing compared to this spring's bloom! Here's a progression of photos from mid-April to mid-May.

(Blogger's note: I'm pre-dating this post to better reflect when these photos were taken. George's bloom time peaked around May 12 this year.)
