I've been getting lots of questions of what is blooming now...and the "Did I see those trees in the center of town in flower?" so what I'm going to try to do in the next few days is do a drive-by photo click and ID.
Show in this picture is the purple leaf plum. I'm not sure which variety that this is, but the one that I like the most is Krauter Vesuvius since it tends to hold its summer color the best. Prunus cerasifera 'Krauter Vesuvius'. Its flowers are a bit paler than the cherries that are blooming, but they are quite stunning.
The other variety that deserves mention is the Thundercloud plum Prunus cerasifera 'Thundercloud'.
