Early flowering cherry

Snow showers, is doing so well this year, now the wood pigeons have let it be!
The bees were all enjoying it in the sun yesterday. Back to winter today though..:((

That's a beauty, Janey. I really like white-flowered cherries, they go with all the spring colours.
How's your liquidamber doing, by the way. Mine is filling the pot, so decisions need to be made!

It's beautiful Janey! Does the blossom last long?

Thank you Julia, she was a gift from Mum..:)

Thanks Angel, I do love it, bright autumn colour too.
You've done well with your liquidated! Mine is no more. I don't know what went wrong, but it just didn't grow. My Jordan Acer is opening its buds though, I'm so pleased it's done ok through this winter. How's yours?

Pigeons are such a nuisance. Wish the sky was blue for your pic, it would then be spectacular.

I ended up with 2 liquidambers, Janey. The first one arrived with a broken trunk so they replaced it. Shame you're not closer, I would give you one. Yes, my acers have (so far) come through the winter in the g'house. I watered them much less this year. That seems to have helped (fingers crossed). 'Jordan' is a smasher. I bought a moisture meter for my houseplants and discovered I have a tendency to overwater, so have learned a lesson..

Hi Rose, yes, it seems to be coming out for quite a few weeks, it does depend on the weather. It's fully opened for around 10days. The blossoms are scented too, then they turn pinkish as they age. It's only a small tree..so you don't need a great deal of room..

Really beautiful blossom.

They certainly are Siris, I think it's time we all ate pigeon pie! They've even started eating the new rose growth. Time for a catapult..:))

Sorry Ange about the pre-emptive text! If I was closer, I'd love it..haha. My Jordan's weathered the winter outside, I couldn't pick up the pot!
Now that's a good idea, I've quite a few palms and they do need repotting and feeding, that's my next job!

Love that thick white blossom … gorgeous little tree making me smile πŸ™‚. My Jordan is in bud too - phew!

Thanks Klahanie, I seem to put a photo on every spring! I'm excited to see it though, especially with so many blossoms this year..:)

Thank you Sheila, that's just how it makes me feel! Oh good, I can't wait to see it too..:))

I think there are Julia, let's hope they all do very well, such beautiful leaf shape.
I do like your new avatars. I was on a walk the other day and on the grassy banks were quite a few of the orange trumpeted daffodils, spectacular!

Thanks Paul, hasn't it just, roll on April!

Janey, this is a gorgeous little tree ... wish I had space for one!

Thanks Julia..:) it's only small, well about 5' 8" high. I pruned the under canopy over the years to broaden it. Left alone, the branches would have hung right down.

Thanks Janey! I will have to look out for one!

Really lovely lot of blossom there. We get quite a few pigeons here. I think they come this way from the river to keep out of the Peregrine's way.

Just caught up with your comment Linda and I've been netting this cherry this morning. The 2 wood pigeons love to stand on the top of it pecking off the new leaves...they are such a nuisance! If that peregrine fancies a holiday here, send him up please!
