Hi,
We've spotted a blossom with really deep pink, almost purple blossoms but I can't identify it after several hours of hunting online for it.
We'd really like to get one for the garden so would appreciate any help in identifying it.

Can you get a close up of the leaves?
Is the picture current or taken earlier in the season?
One of the red hawthorns is a possibility but it's too far away to be sure

Hi, thanks for the response, it was taken 2 weeks ago. I can certainly drive past it and get a close up on the leaves, hopefully put up in a few hours
Right. Leaves, bark, flowers even if they're nearly over. It all helps

Could be Malus x purple prince?
Hey guys, here's more pics I've just taken
It's the hawthorn, maybe this one

Click the "50 suppliers" link on the RHS page nut first linked - you should find one near you.
Paul's Scarlet Hawthorn?
Oops just saw your link nut ...
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
