The flowers are blooming and the cherries are ripe. 

This is one of my Julius Wadekamper hybrids.  I cannot remember its name. 

Another Wadekamper hybrid. 

Grand Cru:  I especially like the orange brushmarks on the petals.

This morning we picked cherries again and are sharing the remainder with the birds.  Yesterday I made cherry preserves.  We think that the jell is a little soft.  I decided to leave it that way; if it is a little soft, we can use it in place of syrup on waffles.  We still have enough cherries to make one pie and one cherry cobbler.  I understand that the spring caused the sour cherry crop in Wisconsin to be small.  It did the opposite in our backyard.  We have never had a crop as large as this one.
