Double Sloe?
 

Driving to Devon and back last week there was a mass of Sloes in full
flower, some seemed to be more intense white than others and I was
wondering if there is a double flowered form of Sloe.
I didn't feel like wandering along the side of the motorway looking
for double forms. I don't think the motorway police would have
understood.

You're nearer to Gower than I am, and as there are plenty of blackthorn
there due to limestone geology, I'm sure you would find some if you looked.

I can think of an appropriate Anglo-saxon name for the stuff :-)
