April 10, 2026 🌱 The sandcherry is back in bloom.

I wish I could freeze time with this one. It’s so beautiful and so fleeting.

April 21, 2025 🌱 The “Japanese maple” is apparently a purpleleaf sandcherry.

Here it is in its full blooming glory.

August 10, 2026 🌱 The purpleleaf sandcherry in a downpour, photographed from the safety of the porch.

Its summer leaves are red, but not the bright red of its fall leaves. I didn’t realize I was wrong in the other post until just now. Funny how memory works.

October 31, 2025 🌱 A fallen maple leaf snagged in the purpleleaf sand cherry.

The sandcherry looks like it has magnificent fall color, but its leaves have been this red all along 😆

April 20, 2025 🌱 The daffies opened overnight.

As did the shy tulip and most of the sandcherry flowers.

Sandcherry is an interesting dune plant because it often has many of its branches buried beneath the sand. This is part of why we see clonal mats of it on dunes here in Colorado. 🌿

purpleleaf sandcherry - it's a cross between an asian purple-leafed variety and a US native, would have to look up which ones, don't remember off the top of my head

‘UCONNPCSDR’ has a mounded form, with a dense habit and many basal branches and requires minimal maintenance. Flowers produced in May provide an ornamental display that makes the plant useful for supporting pollinators.

As a child visiting my paternal grandparents I remember this Flowering Crab as a fully grown tree so beautiful in Spring, so I know its over 80 years old & still just gorgeous every year!
The Quince & Sandcherry bushes are adding colour, too!

When the blue jays visit our narrow urban yard, they do so in packs of 8 - minimum (our record is 14 all at once- what a racket!). Here's one of this morning's gang, not exactly camouflaged in the sand cherry, standing guard as his buddies clear out out feeders. 😅🐦 #birds #TorontoBirding

My native cherries aren’t as showy as the Japanese Sakura but they smelled so sweet! They’re far apart so I hand pollinated them with sexy music playing, LOL!

🩷if there is a heavenly place, surely it is scented with peonies.🤩

speaking of scent, I could live inside this gorgeous purple sandcherry when it blooms every spring. It's sweet sweet fragrance makes me think of grape candy from childhood.💜🩷
