Almond Blossom?

[ahstewart]

Am I too late to see the blossom this year??
If so, when is the best time to see it in the north of the island.
Also, has anyone a photo I can use as a wallpaper so I remember to book early for next year.
Cheers

If you go driving around the Santa Agnes area, up towards San Miquel and over towards Atzaro there are still loads of flowering Almond (and cherry ?) trees in bloom this year, covered in white / pink blooms, especially in the remoter areas. Also tonnes of orange and lemon trees dripping with fruit, wild Alliums (pink) and loads of lavender in flower growing wild on the slopes. Masses of lavender planted out on some of the roundabouts in the built-up areas too. It's looking green and very beautiful right now.

My spanish friend was telling me about how nice the almond blossom was just a week or two ago so may be that....
