 It's Friday, TGIF!  Today's image is of a group of blooms from my wild Sandhill Plum bush/tree.  It has been made the official state fruit of Kansas.  The skin can be tough and bitter but the fruit itself is sweet and tasty.  I had transplanted these from an area near my land when it was being developed and they have thrived and are blooming like crazy.  The birds like the fruit too unfortunately as I only got one plum last year.  Hope to get more this year.  I chose this image for the lovely soft bokeh because Friday's Are Bokehlicious!

 It's Wildflower Wednesday here on the Blog!  Recently the Sandhill Plum or Chickasaw Plum was made our state Fruit.  I had transplanted a couple a couple of years ago and they are blooming.  This is the end of one of the branches with lovely flowers.  I just transplanted 3 more and they seem to be surviving the move so I am happy about that.  Butterflies like them quite a  lot.
