I think these things vary a lot with local weather. In the western
suburbs of Boston, it seems to me that everything apple blooms at nearly
the same time. The crabs start a little later than the domestic apples,
but the bloom eriods mostly overlap. In fact, all the 'spring flowers'
are out at about the same time.

When I used to live in Princeton, NJ, spring was much longer, and there
was much more separation between when stuff bloomed.

I second that Ginda. When I lived in Massachusetts spring was very
short and concentrated- daffodils bloomed with hyacinth and crabapples.
Spring flowers bloomed during approximately a month-long period.

In NC, bloom times are very distinct and spring flowers bloom over a 60
- 80 day period.
