Mike,

Acer (Maple) blossoms are hardly noticeable, and are most showy in the fall, but the early shoots are quite colorful if you look closely.

That is Prunus (stone fruits such as cherry, plum, almond, apricot...) of some variety which brings in the spring with a show of flowers.

Jack I bow to your greater knowledge.

I reckon I make the same mistake every year.  :-*
