====== Blossom Triangle ======

[[:garden|← Back to Garden]]

A sunny, open area near the stone steps anchored by the spectacular [[garden:blossom_triangle:ornamental_plum|Ornamental Plum]], which puts on one of the garden's most dramatic early-spring displays. The triangular space frames the plum against the sky and provides a natural focal point visible from the house.
