| Just noticed some blossom in a tree in my neighbours garden, not quite sure
what it is, probably a cherry....are there species that normally flower at
this time of year or is it unusual?

Could be Prunus subhirtella which flowers through winter. I prefer it to
the blowsy, candyfloss type spring flowering ones

Prunus subhirtella autumnalis is in flower in a garden near us.

We have a Photinia Red Robin in flower at the mo. Very strange!

Prunus subhirtella autumnalis (winter flowering cherry) has scattered
blossoms all through the winter. Ours doesn't think it's winter yet,
