Because Virtue Is Not a Pear

Whatever you do
do it gently and unhurriedly
because virtue is not a pear
to be eaten in one bite.

Our pear tree is in bloom. The white blossoms always reminds me of popcorn. The tree looks so pretty but unfortunately, the blooms have a foul odor instead of a sweet fragrance.
Aaaw ! so beautiful , shame about the odour !! fav

Oh it’s beautiful! The buds on the ornamental pear trees in my neighborhood froze during our ice storm. I just don’t know if we will see any blooms this year.

This is gorgeous! Probably my favorite tree to shoot in spring - we've lost a lot this past year to storm damage around here - Those that should make it are not even close to budding
