More blooms in May

The first tree you pass as you enter the Panhandle from the west is in its peak bloom now. I believe this is a Portugal Laurel, or prunus lusitanica  - the same species as the tree near Shrader that fell during a storm in February.

Further east, one of the two California Buckeyes in the park is also blooming.

We lost a tree to today's storm

Fell St east of Shrader


A good-sized tree came down in the Panhandle, apparently a result of today's fast-moving rainstorm. Does anybody know what kind of tree this is? 
Update: I've referred to a copy of Trees of the Panhandle, and believe I've identified this as a prunus lusitanica, a.k.a. Portugal laurel.
