    This is difficult! Cherry plums are 'out' at the moment... is one a crab apple? Too early?? ...

    My garden and I live in South Wales.

    My cherry plums have been and gone, GD probably had hers before Christmasimage

    I think mine are early compared to some. 

    Last year, when we had that huge NYD flower count, I had a couple of blossoms on the cherry plum, But always by February.

    I think the first one is Bullace - wild Damson

    the 3rd one Prunus avium, wild cherry would be my guesses

    not sure about the 2nd..

    I'm in Fenland and our local wild cherry plums have been and gone, they opened in Feb.

    Here's a photo I took Feb 21st.. just opening..
