Hi Guys, in my street there is a tree which produces the beautiful flowers below but I don't know what it is. I am assuming that it belongs to the Prunus family because of the trunk and texture of the flowers but I don't know for sure. The tree is about 11 feet high and flowering had occured between winter and spring (I think). I'm guessing it might be a flowering peach or almond. Can anyone enlighten me. Oh, and if you know, could you also provide the botanical name pls. (Sheesh, I'm really pushing my luck are'nt I?) :roll:

No, nothing like that, but I am fascinated by the many species of the prunus family
