Soft 1.5 inch pink blooms which fade to white appear in the spring. Not only are they beautiful, they are fragrant too. Shown in at the end of April when most of the blooms have already expired. (San Antonio, Tx.)

At the end of April, a lot of the fruit has already set. The fruit is eaten by songbirds, bobwhite quail, ring-neck pheasant, opossums, fox and other critters. The leaves serve as larval food for at least 4 kinds of butterflies.(San Antonio, Tx.)
