[Leica] IMG: friday flowers, george

[imagist3 at mac.com (George Lottermoser)]

Can and do eat the plums.
The two trees are primarily ornamental.
The ratio of fruit to pit is very low;
making harvesting for canning a bit of a lost cause;
yet the fruit is extremely sweet and flavorful.
So it's more of a pick daily, and enjoy, while available.

I do recall reading the poem once.
Delighted to have it freshly brought to mind.

thank you,

Regards,
George Lottermoser
