The whole place has exploded in blossoms over the last couple of weeks. The plum in our driveway and the white blossomy tree in the backyard (not sure what it is) were just beginning to open their first buds when we returned from Vancouver last Monday evening. And now the whole neighborhood is in bloom. Interestingly, our bees don't seem to be taking advantage of the immediate food source--they still seem to leave the yard to find the majority of their pollen and nectar.
I'm not a great expert on plants (yet), but here is what I have noticed blooming:
almond
apple
plum
peach (apricot too, I guess)
a huge tree with clumps of yellow puff balls that seem to be covered with pollen
magnolia
the scentless pink flowers on the bushes that look like gardenias but aren't
lavender
