G20090307-3606--Oemleria cerasiformis--RPBG

Oemleria cerasiformis—osoberry. "Towards the end of the winter in the Pacific northwest we begin to lose hope of ever seeing a sunny day. Cheer has long been drowned in the endless rains, the cold damp has soaked its way into the soul. We long for a break in the clouds that will allow the sun to shine on our faces.

Then the Indian Plum comes along with bright green leaves and creamy flowers – a glimpse of spring amid the gray.

The first deciduous native shrub in the Pacific northwest to flower, the Indian Plum is prized not only for its beauty but for the promise it conveys of longer days and lighter rains." —The Wild Garden: Hansen's Northwest Native Plant Database. www.nwplants.com/business/catalog/oem_cer.html.
