It's prime time for blossom just now in Ireland and the UK and more of it than ever. After our unusually long and cold winter everything is two weeks earlier than normal too. The white blossom of blackthorn in the countryside is particularly striking this year when the rest of the hedgerows are not even in leaf. Later in the year the blackthorn fruit, sloes, will make a delicious liqueur Sloe Gin which everyone enjoys. Sloes will be very plentiful this year.
