I went for a walk this afternoon, because getting outside in the daylight is good for me, especially on bright sunny days like this afternoon. I saw this cherry tree two blocks from home:






I live in an inner suburb of Boston, and wasn't expecting to see flowers other than some vagrant dandelions.

ETA: I am reliably informed that this looks like a winter-flowering cherry, and they're supposed to do that.

It's a winter-flowering cherry. It's supposed to do that.

The first time I saw one, I was completely baffled, but it was in Kew, and it had a label, so I stood corrected.
