Flowering trees and bulbs like daffodils are on an annual cycle. Cherry (P. Avium - sweet / P.

Cerasus - sour) - Cherries are originally from Transcaucasia, Asia Minor and Persia. The Cherry is a very beautiful tree that provides excellent fruit. There are two kinds of Cherry trees - Sweet Cherries, which are cultivars of P.

Avium, and Tart or Sour Cherries, which are cultivars of P. Cerasus. The dark red sweet Cherries are the kinds most often seen in the grocery store.

Some sweet Cherries have yellowish flesh, these are usually used for maraschinos or canned fruit cocktails. Sweet Cherries are best eaten fresh as their delicate flavors don't stand up to cooking well. Tart or Sour Cherries are hardly ever seen at the store.

These Cherries are the varieties used in jams, tarts, pies, etc., thus another common name is Pie Cherry. If sour Cherries are left on the tree to fully ripen, they may also be enjoyed fresh as sweet Cherries. Cherries not only provide delicious fruits, but also bear bunches of pretty white flowers in the spring.

However, species have been bred specifically for their blossoms, which may be white or varying shades of pink; these cousins are called Flowering Cherries. P. Avium (the wild species of the Sweet Cherries) is a medium to large sized tree with oblong or oval, pointy-tipped leaves that grow 2 to 4 inches long.

They are dark green above and lighter and somewhat fuzzy beneath. The leaves turn crimson in the autumn. From mid- to late spring, clusters of pure white, cup-shaped flowers are produced.

Small, reddish-purple fruits follow the blossoms and ripen in June or July. The bark of this tree is smooth and gray but turns mahogony-red with age and peels in horizontal strips to reveal the paler, inner bark. P.

Cerasus 'Rhexii' is an ornamental variety of the sour Cherry that forms a small, bushy tree. It has clusters of double, white flowers, 1 to 11/2 inches across, from mid- to late spring. Another Flowering Cherry is P.

Cistena (Purple-leaf Sand Cherry). This Cherry forms a deciduous shrub up to 6 feet high with red foliage and single white blossoms, which are followed by black-purple fruits. This Cherry makes a great hedge plant.

P. Laurocerasus (Cherry Laurel) is a vigorous growing, evergreen shrub or small tree growing 20 feet or more high. The glossy, dark green leaves are large and leathery.

The Cherry Laurel is ordinarily grown as a hedge, but is very attractive in tree form. In mid-spring it produces upright clusters of single, white flowers that are followed by cherry-like, red then purplish-black fruits. Any part of this decorative tree is harmful if eaten.

Daffodils: DESCRIPTION: This is a large group of mostly hardy bulbs. Narcissus will bloom outside in March and April and in greenhouses from December to March. There are many species or wild types and innumerable named varieties, which increase every year.

Most of the species or wild types are natives of southern Europe. The name Daffodil is commonly given to the Narcissus with large trumpets, but may be used for all types. The name Jonquil most properly belongs to the rush-leaved Narcissus jonquilla and its hybrids.

In some parts of North America, it's used as a common name for all types of Narcissi. This plant is one of the prettiest springtime flowers and is able to be cultivated in many ways. It can be planted in open spaces in shrubbery or woodland or at the end of the lawn.

Some kinds are great for growing in the rock garden or for growing in pots in the alpine greenhouse. In a heated greenhouse it's possible to sustain a long succession of blooms from December on by growing them in pots and flats. Many kinds are great as cut flowers.

There are many different classifications of Narcissi. There are trumpet Narcissi, large-cupped Narcissi, small-cupped Narcissi, double Narcissi, triandus Narcissi, cyclamineus Narcissi, jonquilla Narcissi, tazetta Narcissi, poeticus Narcissi, wild forms and hybrids and misc. Narcissi.

Miniature Narcissi are great for growing outdoors in the rock garden or a sheltered border at the foot of a wall or fence. N. Asturiensis, or N.

Minimus, is the smallest of the Trumpet Daffodils, The mouth of its trumpet is frilled, and the stems tend to weaken after a heavy rainfall. N. Cyclamineus falls into the cyclamen-flowered category.

It is a native of Portugal and it goes well in the rock garden. Narcissus Paperwhite, raised as a pot plant, is the most popular of all Daffodils for winter flowering in the home and greenhouse. It has long, thin, dark green leaves and fragrant, white flowers in a cluster at the top of a long stem.
