Flowers are the width of a silver dollar


emerging leaves are orange-red and serrated (toothed), oblong


trunk is 4 inches across and tree is 15 feet tall

My parents have several and they were told that they are Ironwood.
Haven't gotten around to double checking that though. ::)
Or did I ??? :D

Redpowered,

The lenses are by Tiffen and the camera is a HP 618, it's an older 2.11 megapixel. I used the 10x closeup, UV filter, and polarizer lenses on the flowers and took off the 10x for the crown and stem pictures. I have better luck when usung the onscreen display to make sure the image is in focus. With a regular 35 mm lens, if your closer than four feet to the object, it blurs. The 10 x lens allows you to get within 4 inches.  ;)

Aroostooksawyer,

Perderson also calls it Juneberry (Amalanchier species)

Found a page here with all three names

Difficult to be on top of all these regional names. ;)

Now if there was a prize for the winner I'd have to give it to ya Aroostooksawyer, but since there isn't I'll just  :) and shout  8)

cheers
