Prunus cerasifera 'Nigra'

Wonderful! Hope mine will break its buds soon :)

Hello Sheila. I hope so too.
Mine starting to blossom last weekend. Looking forward to the others I have to come out.

Mines just starting too hopefully the bullfinches will have left me some flowers,little terrors :-)

those naughty bullfinches Kathy. I rarely see them but I think they were the culprits that nipped off my mistletoe buds/leaves last winter.

What a pretty colour and flower.

Beautiful. Almost like a painting.

What a pretty picture Dawn :o))

Mine is out now too Dawn but it's pigeons that I see nibbling at it :o)

Thanks everyone, oh Annella, those naughty pigeons. I dont seem to get alot of bird damage, they dont bother with the yellow crocus either, weird, unless like Amy says, because we have the cats around.

Maybe...but the neighbours cats are on patrol :o))

I should say as well that this is the best & most blossom I have had in years...no idea why

Could it be the mild wet winter? The mild conditions have been very kind to my garden this year. Most early flowering plants get frosted the majority of years.

How beautiful it is to see the blossom this early....
