Apple blossom has such a sweet and delicate scent. It was my Grandmother’s favourite flower, and it always makes me feel happy when it blooms. This particular tree produces small yellow fruits that are waxy and intensely fragrant.
Today’s apple blossom is the first in a series of tiny flower-based blog posts. I’ll do them daily for a while.
Historical Fiction
I write unconventional romance and historical fiction, often set in Aberdeenshire, the area of Scotland where I live. My historical novels combine little-known dark events with love stories. There are witches, bears and Romans to be found in them, detailed here.

Apple blossoms are beautiful! My grandmother had an apple tree too, though her favorite flowers were the Bleeding Heart ones. She also had a couple of large lilac bushes, which were my personal favorite. Thanks for sparking those memories!
I love lilac too, and there is some in the garden. It’s not out quite yet here. Maybe by the end of May!
Beautiful flower! I’m not sure if I have ever seen one.
They are lovely.
Apple blossoms are among my favorites. Your picture is lovely; I can almost smell the fragrance.
I recall Yardley used to make a perfume of it.
Beautiful flowers.
They really are.
Lovely picture – reminded me of an old apple tree in our yard when I was growing up.
A nostalgic flower 🙂
Those apple blossoms are sure beautiful. I wish I had seen them.
They are quite stunning.
Beautiful
Yes 🙂
Sending a link to my wife, Ailish. I think your historical fiction might be right up her alley.
Oh, thank you. I hope your wife enjoys the books if she tries them 🙂
Wow, so beautiful ♥️
They really are.
