Spring is in the air
What a gorgeous weekend in HB, spring seems to be here early!
I just love the colour on this cherry tree, (Prunus Campanulata ). Its an early flowering cherry and can be seen in full flower from now till about mid-late September. Tui love this and often leave our feeding boxes to indulge on these flowers instead. Lucky we have this right outside our living room window so see the birds up close
Whats your favourite flowering tree?
