Does anyone know what this is?

I thought possibly azalea but not at all sure?

Is it thorny? It's Crataegus laevigata. It looks lovely.

No idea, a friend asked if I knew what it was

you were correct with Azalea

No it's a hawthorn (Crategaeus) . Azaleas are out in the late winter.

Azalea. I've got four in flower in my garden right now.

It looks like an azalea to me.

Identical to the two azaleas 🌺 in my garden now.

My azealeasnare in full
flower now.

Oh ok I stand corrected, my hawthorns are out now, (they are white though) My azalea stopped flowering 2 months ago .

I think azaleas have quite a long flowering season. We have a white one which was finished flowering by the beginning of march. I would happily have s garden full of them, so many flowers!
