@El Loro 
Superb.
As a keen 'dabbler' in photography, I was going to look at this article at lunch time, but work got in the way.

I used to have some but they never flowered. Love geraniums though.

This was posted on the BBC website today, called 'Rush Hour in Sheffield'. It's about a 10 min walk from me. I think I may go take a quick look at the pink petals before they are all gone.
My patio fruit trees have blossom on them

gorgeous but agree-got three cherry trees on the green near us but the petals don't last long

I find a tree covered in blossom lifts my spirits
There is a tree outside my kitchen window. It's growing in a rockery and I bet the soil is shocking as when they build the apartments I doubt they conditioned the soil. It has had no attention over the years, just left to it's own devices.!
Blossom is great tho.

yes we are doing the same- growing veg from seed - usually buy plugs except for radish and rocket
