Apple blossoms

My automatic sprinkler was turned on this week. I was away from home for 10 days and came back to Tulips, almost in full bloom. The gentleman from Yardwork said “ We’re having May weather in April .” He was right.

The apple blossoms in my backyard are also in full bloom. Since then the music of “I’ll Be With You In Apple Blossom Time….. One day in May I’ll Come And Stay/ Happy Surprise That The Sumshine On Today…” has been ringing in my ear. It is still April, but it feels like May.

Then I started to wonder… do other people think of songs about flowers the way I often do, not just flowers in general ( i.e. You Don’t Bring Me Flowers Anymore ), but specific flowers?

I think of Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White, The Rose ( Bette Midler ), To Each His Own ( which starts with “A rose must remain with the sun and the rain..” )

Daisy, Daisy ; On The Street Where You Live ( Lilac ) and of course Tiptoe Thru The Tulips.

“I’ll Be With You In Apple Blossom Time” – the Andrew Sisters’ version has to be my favorite.

So – what’s your favorite flower song?
