Who doesn't love a little pasta now...Thanks Brenda. Who doesn't love a little pasta now and then, especially after a hard day in the garden!<BR/><BR/>Rose & Cat ... Shadblow, Serviceberry, Juneberry (Amelanchier canadensis) is a native tree (large shrub) often an understory plant in the woodlands blooming with trillium, an awesome site. Because of the hearty nature and 4-season appeal, they are very popular in Michigan. I love the lush berries in June ~ if you can get them before the birds :)<BR/><BR/>Hi Kate. I would imagine shadblows are native to your area also. I delight each spring seeing a bed of trillium and shadblows blooming in the woodlands and forest. I have 2 in my own yard and love the edible berries, especially delicious in muffins, yogurt or cereal.<BR/><BR/>Indeed shadblow have short-lived blossoms, Ki, but as you know the tree makes up for it by being busy the rest of the season, producing lush berries in June then lovely fall color. I think a must in most gardens ... My 16 year old Yoshino is delightful especially since it replaced an old apple tree that I adored.joeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09569378877717221045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36141650.post-82912058055949589142008-04-29T08:46:00.000-04:002008-04-29T08:46:00.000-04:00The shadblows are wonderful graceful trees.

I'll leave forsythias for someone else's yard and vicariously enjoy them. ;)Kihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05576859749293959381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36141650.post-47201242954954411542008-04-29T00:44:00.000-04:002008-04-29T00:44:00.000-04:00Hi Joey,The Yoshino Cherry blooms are so pretty. I...Hi Joey,<BR/><BR/>The Yoshino Cherry blooms are so pretty. I like your photo montages - Shadblows are known here as Saskatoon Berry bushes. I love when they are blossoming - we are still some weeks away from that happening. <BR/><BR/>Forsythias certainly signal spring- I love their bright flowers. <BR/><BR/>Your spring pasta recipe sounds yummy. I am going to try it - I like the thought of parsley pesto. <BR/><BR/>Methinks I should avoid reading your blog when I'm hungry, like now.kate smudgeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10564410520744285676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36141650.post-26846263689010568032008-04-28T23:05:00.000-04:002008-04-28T23:05:00.000-04:00I've never heard of shadblow before either~but I a...I've never heard of shadblow before either~but I agree with Rose, it's beautiful!

I am catching up on posts, so I just read your Saturday post on the magnolia. I could look at these photos all day.
