Close to Home

Today I was peeing in my garden (I mean...  why else would anyone have a garden- except as a a giant urinal??)


I happened to look up and saw a large double flower on my Asian pear tree.  The rest of the tree flowered almost two months ago, so this was quite a surprise.  I have no idea if it is a fluke- or a mutation that will persist if I graft it up and observe it.


If it turns out to be a good one, I can just imagine the tree covered in flowers like this.  Check out this photo from April when the whole tree flowered:



It might be incredible.  Just imagine all those flowers being double!   But as always, only time will tell!
