Spring?

I found this blossom on a bush a couple of days ago. It gives a nice spring like shot, but the temperatures here are still reminiscent of winter, and there is a very cold easterly wind, as there has been for some time now. At least the forecasters are now talking of warmer (and wetter!) weather next week.

Whatever these are - they're beautiful! Love the close-up detail. :)

Thank you Evelyn - sadly there is far less blossom now than there was at this time last year, but if we can have a few days of sunshine I'm sure there will be a lot more!
