PARADOXICAL BLOSSOM

We are on the midst of Southern Winter here in Melbourne, with our July being the equivalent of Northern Hemisphere January. Plants are showing strange behaviours this year, with unseasonal growth and flowering (see my earlier post here).

A neighbour's Callery pear tree has retained all of its leaves (albeit in Autumnal colours), and a couple of days I noticed that it is flowering also! A few doors down, another Callery pear tree is bare and shown no signs of flowering or of sprouting any leaves. Very odd!

and also part of the Nature Notes meme.
