Yeah, 2 years is kinda young -- they'll be more likely to bloom in another 1 to 2 years. The male flowers have big, fluffy black stamens in the middle against the white petals. Female flowers have big, chartreuse/yellow/green pistil with mini baby kiwi at the base. I know it's frustrating, but hang in there. You might want to threaten it with death - I told my stupid Shipova tree that it was going to get cut down if it didn't finally bloom this year, and, after something like 10 or 12 years, it finally did and set a few fruit, albeit not as many as I had hoped for due to a freeze on May 10th right as it was opening its buds.

You named my strange plant. Been reading up on Devil's claw\-also known as Unicorn plant. It amazes me that this critter is growning in Missouri. I will allow it to grow in my garden, but may dispose of it before it reseeds. Thanks, Chris! karen

I used to think "green" roses were butt ugly. I especially remember when I grew ST. PATRICK (HT 1986). In the hot and humid summers of Tidewater Virginia it had bright lime green buds that were practically florescent. I shovel pruned him because I couldn't stand the color. However, as I've gotten older I've learned to appreciate green tones, especially when combined with delicate pink. PIERRE DE RONSARD (aka Eden, CL 1985) sometimes has green on the white outer petals. The contrast with the bright watermelon pink inner petals is very beautiful. Image of Eden by Cactus Joe at Hortiplex

The Calgary apricots I’ve found haven’t been comparable in quality to westcot or m604. The pink flowering ”apricot” at Riley park in my opinion is not a Prunus manchuria ,armeniaca or Siberia I’ve studied this tree for years and the pink flowers ,the bud structures and fruit quality and abundance of fruit and size all point it towards being a prunus mume Aka Japanese apricot. Calgary does have a large Asian population and I would not be surprised if this was one brought back from there old country as China town is only a couple minutes drive From riley park. A few years back it was suggested to be a goldcot but I have that variety and it’s not Comparable nor is it comparable to any apricots I’ve seen. The taste is good if left on tree till ready to fall off or left on counter. If not the quality is Not good and if not picked at correct time will remain bland And woody . But it is ultra hardy and I think I get fruit almost every year off it in my yard grafted on my Japanese plum and apricot trees
