Blossom in Utah


I need to say a word about blossom in Utah. As we drove towards Bryce Canyon through little towns like Muddy Creek, Ordersville, Glendale and Hatch, in every garden there were trees crusted in white and pale pink blossom. They should have good apple and cherry crops this year.

But there is a mystery tree which I have seen only in Kanab, where it is everywhere; everywhere, yet no-one can tell me what it is. The information officer said she had one in her yard, it doesn't seem to have fruits and she has no idea what it could be. It's very spectacular - that's all I can say - with its riot of mauve blossom. We have a couple in our hotel car park, even.
