The first five shots are of a large blooming tree at Shoshone Falls, Idaho. I would love to know what this tree is. The blossoms look a lot like Pear but I think the tree is too big to be a fruit tree.
The last four shots were taken where we were staying in Star, Idaho. The backyard garden is next door, also the home of the pink Dogwood in my previous post. Cousin Janet has several of these lilac bushes in her yard. She also grows wonderful strawberries!
Very nice. I especially like the tulips. All are well done.

Beautiful set Carol. I believe that blossom is the Crataegus monogyna Jacq. "Oneseed hawthorn. It does look a lot like the Callery pear also.

Thank you, Dennis. I was in heaven having so many beautiful subjects to photograph. Tulips are very unique flowers.

Thank you, Jan. I just Googled pictures of the Hawthorn. The flowers look right but the leaves don't. I'm not sure. It is so hard to identify tree blossoms when they aren't native to your area.
I can’t help you with identifying the tree, but this series is beautiful.
Excellent set, Carol. I can't help with the ID though.
Carol the only thing I know about trees is that birds roost in them...and, your photos are magnificent!!

Thank you, Ken! The tree may be destined to remain anonymous.

Thank you. This tree was so full of blossoms there wasn't much room left for birds!
