was wondering what this lil bush here is, its on the back house corner at the side. Has nice lil blossums on it that are a light pink and pop out for a lil while. There are no thorns and the branches arent that thick except at the base mostly.

I agree that it is a Prunus. I am thinking Dwarf Flowering Almond. It seems to have a couple of names but I use Prunus glandulosa.
no its not that fragrant from what i can remember... the blooms are all gone now so i guess i will have to wait till next year to get a better whiff.. btw thanks guys for the i.d on this plant, i looked up the Prunus and it does look just like some of the dwarf flowering almonds.. on another note i found something attached to one of the outer branches of this yesterday. Some sort of cocoon but im not sure what it is? Heres a few pics... mystery cocoon ( photo / image / picture from Green_Numb's Garden ) mystery cocoon ( photo / image / picture from Green_Numb's Garden ) ( photo / image / picture from Green_Numb's Garden ) any ideas?
That looks like my Flowering Almond. I bet that cacoon is a large beautiful moth or It may be Hummingbird moth which is beautiful too.
Thanks all, for IDing the little almond bush. I was given starts of it years ago and always wondered what it was.
