I've been putting in a lot of kilometers along the Saint-Charles River this past week. Loaded down with heavy gear, we (three sweating friends and I) are preparing for a trek in the White Mountains (Mount Madison, Adams and Washington) in early June. Luckily Jean-Yves is a fellow photographer so, periodically, we took time to stop, admire and photograph ferns, flowering trees, straw lilies and other spring flora.
I think this is a wild plum tree blossom: flowers white with a pink tint, large and abundant, 3-5 in number; wide distribution across Canada having escaped from ornamental planting; grows in rich soils along rivers and on the margin of marshes.
I like the dark background contrasting with the bright white flower as well as circular arrangement of the surrounding unfurled pink petals.
