 Still a bit early for blossom -this photo was taken on March 17th. 2022- but the Royal Horticultural Society is predicting a great display this spring. The warmth and sunshine of last summer combined with a cold winter has created ideal conditions for buds and blossom. Additionally the cold start to February has inhibited early flowering; certain species (e.g. fruit trees) are vulnerable to late frosts if they bloom too soon.
 It has been dry the past few weeks but there is plenty of moisture in the ground so all in all could be a vintage year...
