Plums?

This is the view outside my bathroom window.  When I asked Papi what it was, he said "a ciruelo" (a plum tree).  Later when I commented that it was very pretty and that it must be going to have plums soon because of the blooms, everyone had a confused look.  He said "those are not part of the tree, that's a blight." 

 

Oh, oops. Such a pretty parasite.
