Prunus dulcis
The almond is a small deciduous tree, growing 4–10 metres (13–33 ft) in height, with a trunk of up to 30 centimetres (12 in) in diameter. The young twigs are green at first, becoming purplish where exposed to sunlight, then grey in their second year. The leaves are 3–5 inches long,[1] with a serrated margin and a 2.5 cm (1 in) petiole. The flowers are white or pale pink, 3–5 cm (1–2 in) diameter with five petals, produced singly or in pairs before the leaves in early spring. (Wikipedia)

Me encantan los almendros en flor. En Alicante hay muchos pero este año cuando llegue ya estaban verdecitos. Sulen florecer alli por Febrero.
Thanks Nopayahnah!
Alvaro, depending on the variety of almond tree can be up to two months between the flowering :)
very pretty
In my area the flowers of the almond borned a few days, one month later.
