Flower Friday

Our local tree surgeon told us that this tree in our garden is "English Red Cherry", but Googling that name doesn't seem to bring it up. Google lens seems to think it's Prunus Cerasifera Nigra (or Cherry Plum) but I'm not convinced. I confess to not knowing much about trees, so if anyone can help to identify it I'd be very grateful!

Anyway the important thing is that it produces these lovely flowers in early spring when not much else is flowering - and it gave me a blip for today's FF challenge - thanks for hosting, Anni!

Now for the results of last weekend's Silly Saturday challenge:

Thanks so much to everyone who took part this month. There were more entries than we’ve had for a while, which is great. My Editor and I had some fun and chuckles looking through them, just as Admirer would have done. As usual we could have awarded lots more hearts and HMs but we decided to limit ourselves to 5 of each, for the ones which tickled our fancies the most. You may chuckle yourself at the fact that the first two hearts in the list were “bum” blips, of rather different kinds J.
 
Hearts (in no particular order):
Igor – Mirror, Mirror: Does my bum look big…?
Annie – Another big bum?!
LSquare – An amazing Apple Core-tet!
Carol_Dunham – We know who’s the boss!
Laurie54 – It seems the answer is a Lemon Head!
 
Honourable Mentions:
DonnaWanna – A suitably silly mirror angle
Pkln – Some really silly postures, exercising in the park
AngelsShare – Girl Power: The digger clearly needed a push-start!
Madwill – Not so privy…it must be the loo-niest blip I’ve seen for a long time!
Corinthian – It’s dangerous to trespass!
 
Hosting the Silly Saturday challenge is great fun, so if you’d like a go please let me know – it’s only for one week at a time (generally on the first of the month), so far I have only one volunteer for the rest of this year.
