Early or late?

Probably early. I think this is the member of the Prunus (plums, cherries) family that usually blossoms in late January/early February. This one tree is currently blooming away quite happily in Chesham park.

Wow, this could easily pass as a spring time picture!

[Anita Hoyle]

Echo what Jessica said. Poor plants don't understand our weird weather!

[Jean Tookey]

A beautiful shot. I wonder if spring will be even earlier next year.

Thank you for the lovely comments and everything, people. I don't do this very often but I do appreciate the time and trouble you take over my shots very much.

@dulciknit I saw a tree full of blossom today, but the flowers were much smaller than yours. I couldn't identify it, could it have be almond? Or cherry?

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

@hamble I suspect they might have been the same size as this one. It's only about as big as a 10p piece, the close up and pov have made it look bigger. I *think* it's a Prunus of some sort.
