Mexican plum flowers are 2 centimeters across. so tiny.

[ID: A photo of several Mexican plum flowers, which are white, with five round petals, with flower buds behind them. A black ruler on the centimeter side is held up below the flowers for scale. End ID.]

I'm a sucker for wooded trails. Whether through a "traditional" forest or an urban forest like this one.

Deciduous holly (Ilex decidua), Mexican plum (Prunus mexicana), and Texas mountain laurel (Dermatophyllum secundiflorum) line this section of trail.

‘Methley’ plum in the front is blooming at the same time the Mexican plum is blooming in the back. Hopefully some plums this year.

Here are some more panoramic shots to get your bearings in the garden: from the gate, from the Vitex agnus-castus, from the crepe myrtle, from the pampas grass, and from the Mexican plum.
