My dear hubby has been making noise lately about removing this pomegranate tree to widen the path to the back of our property.
I've always been fascinated by this fruit. On the outside it appears to be a big leathery ball. The little crown with the last remnants of the flower hint at the royal surprise inside - dozens of ruby like little seeds, as shiny and bright as the jewels themselves.
I'll show you how these gorgeous red fruits translate in my cottage decorating in my next post. For now I'd like to show you the beauty of the tree itself.
It's dense green foliage shows off the
bright red-orange trumpet shaped flowers.
The transformation from flower to fruit
amazes me every year.
Soon it will triple in size and turn from green to red.
The perfect cottage color!
