Pretty blossom. My blackthorn blossom turned out to be wild cherryblossom. A friend spotted it because of the branch - no nasty thorns!

[Dandolo]

Lovely - must be spring!

Blackthorn winter is the name given to the cold snap that frequently follows warm spring evenings that hasten the blackthorn into bloom - in other words - I think we are about to have a cold snap. Lovely to see this wild plum in bloom and beautifully captured

@quietpurplehaze It looks like wild plum according to Lucy. I never have been very good identifying blossom!

[Rosie Kind]

@darrenboyj @dandolo Thank you

[Rosie Kind]

@lucypics Thanks Lucy for identifying this correctly. I never have been good at knowing which blossom is which

[🐞Lucy Dolittle]

@rosiekind actually when I say wild plum it is the hedge that sloes grow on (same family)

[Ann Jones]

You've captured this beautifully Rosie! Fav

[Karin Hirsch]

Great shot, the blackthorn is the earliest tree to be in flower, definately a sign of spring, even if more winter is the forecast for next week

@rosiekind

I'm totally confused now as Lucy says further down that this the tree that sloes grow on and that is definitely blackthorn! it's lovely anyway!!
