Blackthorn

Ever since I saw the drawing by Cicely Mary Barker of the Blackthorn Fairy I love this tree. From the livingroom window I can see one blossoming now. It has something wild, natural, pure and romantic about it. I am not crazy about white flowers or white blossoms but I absolutely love this one.... and still love that wild Flower Fairy too btw :)

Romantic

I'm feeling a bit romantic every time I see my Prunus blossom in my garden. I so very much love this little tree.... I made a drawing of it once and a watercolour too (blogged that here). Maybe it's because I just can't get enough of it.
Oh... btw... this is Prunus subhirtella 'Autumnalis' again :)
