We can still have cold weather after the almond trees have bloomed. The apricot and apple trees are more cautious, blooming several weeks later. The last to put out new leaves is the fig tree. Ἀπὸ δὲ τῆς συκῆς μάθετε τὴν παραβολήν· ὅταν ἤδη ὁ κλάδος αὐτῆς γένηται ἁπαλὸς καὶ τὰ φύλλα ἐκφύῃ γινώσκετε ὅτι ἐγγὺς τὸ θέρος. ‘Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh.’ (Matthew 24:32)
Dear Father Justin, thanks a lot for the the beautiful photographs, the colors are amazing, the white one of the almond three and I presume, the pink of apricot..
The pink is also almond. One tree especially has pink blossoms, and these are some of the most beautiful.
