The crabapple tree that is so stressed each year it loses its leaves by July has taken action this month, and produced a single blossom in October. Reminds me of "Calendar Girls" when John writes that the women of Yorkshire are like the flowers of Yorkshire - "Every stage of their growth has its own beauty, but the last phase is always the most glorious. Then very quickly they all go to seed."
