Today is the Spring Equinox, sometimes called the Vernal Equinox. There's not much in flower in the English countryside as yet after the cold winter we've had. But the bright white blossom of Cherry Plum (Prunus cerasifera) is flowering in the hedgerows drawing hungry bumblebees from hibernation. Soon to be followed by the equally bright blossom of Blackthorn and Hawthorn.
