in full bloom now 09/12/11

It looks beautiful Pimpernel, what is it??

you are kidding.

I think this is a cherry.. Shiny bark. Could be a Crab though.

It has been in full bloom for at least 10 days Sticki.

Wow ! :o)

looks like a cherry to me, i think you must be living south of the equator

Does this qualify for GoYpedia Cherry Blossom... ?
I can't really put it on Spring Blossom... Lol.

it will be glace cherry in a few days time!!!

Lol... :o)

I would have thought you would have more of these things going on down there. One of my customers has hollyhock still..Bedraggled the last few days. If I had time and permission Sticki, I would be posting pictures of spring , summer, autumn and winter all happening now.

permission????

I'll put this under Cherry Blossom... I can always change it if we find out it is the wrong category :o)

I can't just take photo's in anyone's garden Sticki..I knocked on to ask about a plant in the porch today, but they did not know what it was called...I may use Stealth.....Listening in Canada?

surely if you just took a little picture of the plant or the flower but nothing in it that could identify the property it would be ok? the owner wouldnt even know it was theirs??

This one is a street tree....but not one of my streets, I will get better pics tomorrow if I can TT.

;)

It looks like Prunus autumnalis - it flowers from November to April. I used to have one in my previous garden. It was very pretty and had flowers all winter long.

It does Hywel. I will get better Pictures.

Wow what a great tree, I would love one that flowers from November to April. I have a plain old prunus serrula, you know the one with the shiny peely bark but wish I had seen this first. good old Hywel!

The witch Hazel is out here! What will be in flower for January now? Lily of the valley???

there was one out in a garden in east devon i saw yesterday

Hywel named it...There should be so many more of these trees planted.

My Lily of the valley has little green spikes poking up through the soil, along with the old, dead leaves, Sticki!

oh no!! its unbelievable.

He is cheating us. This is photo from spring.

You're going to be a handful Katarina...;0)

What does it mean?

It means that you are fun.

Really?

yes katarina, he is teasing you but being a handful means being fun.

OK, although I do not know what is funny on the fact I do not believe in blooming cherries in the December?

It is this cherry Katarina ..I was as surprised as you.
