Yes! Folks get sad when flowering trees drop their flowers, but I love it. Walk in a botanic garden when the cherry blossoms or crab apples drop! I haven't done that in many years. I'm so sorry you lost a crabapple! I think crabapple might just be my favorite tree of all.
I need a red bud. I've always loved them and had no where to put one. Now I have the lake.
