Wind and rain do not deter the spring flowers - here the slightly crumpled soft pink blossom of the dwarf almond tree "Garden Prince" - a very early spring delight.
And here the much thicker petalled magnolia flowers, still elegant and sumptuous despite the elements.
Bruised petals squashed against a branch, a petal lost - but the weather damage allows us to glimpse inside the flower to see the jewel-like conical receptacle. And the sky is blue again.
