My new Prairie Fire Crab tree has pink blooms. Shouldn't they be red? and Pawnee Grasslands Springtime Bloom

My new Prairie Fire Crab tree has pink blooms. Shouldn't they be red?

I purchased this tree last year. This is the first spring it has bloomed. The blooms are deep pink. I was under the impression they would be deep red. Not sure if I got the wrong tree or not........

Prairiefire flower buds are red. They open to a lighter pinkish-red color. Here are links to a Prairiefire in bloom:

Note: Bloom color can vary by site. Soil and environmental conditions do have an affect on bloom color. It's not just all genetics, though genetics will place limits on the variations possible.

Bulb flowers usually have one flower per bulb, once per season.

Little Purple flower


If anyone can ID this, I'd be happy to hear. It's about 1.5cm-2cm across. It's in the UK (south) in my garden and is growing out of an old wall. The plant isn't big but has about 10 flowers. In someways, it's like a bigger, less dense Forget Me Not that happens to be growing out of a wall

Why hasn't my Christmas Cactus bloomed? and Reading Helps Your Mind Bloom - "MIND"

Why hasn't my Christmas Cactus bloomed?

My Mother started mine with a cutting from hers almost 3 years ago and it has never bloomed. Her's is over 20 years old. Mine looks healthy but it just has never bloomed and I wondered if I was doing something wrong, I had it outside during the summer and I put in the bathroom when it started getting cold outside. Can anyone tell me why it hasn't bloomed?

Ask her what SHE does, and see if there's anything--however small it seems--that you do dfferently.

Spring display in the library – super fast, super easy!

Books are random selections from the shelves and kids are signing them out faster than I can pull books to take their place. This is a great way to pull out those "gems" that get hidden in the stacks and not signed out.
