My crab apple bonsai is in full flower at the moment.
Pretty sure this is the earliest it has ever flowered. I noted in another thread that this tree was shown at a BSV show many years ago in full flower just like it is now. BSV shows are early Oct so this year peak flowering is at least 2 weeks earlier than late last century.

Maybe just normal yearly seasonal variation??? or a permanent shift in seasons?

Wow, that sure is a mass of buds.

I guess we're all seeing variances in our flowering/budding etc, good that we have the forum to help us keep track!

What a beauty!! The colour is fantastic too. You must be doing something right to get the tree to that level.

Stunning tree! I am quite jealous, because I had to give mine away to a friend with a big dog, after the possums ate all its leaves two years running. I guess you've got dogs too.

Only one very aged corgi who once would have taken on any possums but now far too old to bother. Fortunately we don't have resident possums but I do need to protect the fruit from marauding parrots later in the season.

Thanks for the comments.
