Indian Plum Buds

The buds of the Indian plum are beautiful. Their color is soft and subtle. They have a quiet luminosity that emit a soothing balm of peacefulness in these uncertain times.

This shrub grows throughout the landscape at the arboretum, and it is one of the first plants to flower in the spring.

Its Latin name is Oemleria cerasiformis. It is also known as osoberry.
