Yup...it sure is
We see them in early March, when the wild plum blooms in our area, but this year I also found them nectaring on elbow-bush.

We have a purple leaf plum in our front yard that was in full bloom on 4/18 I think it was pretty much done blooming on 5/2 when the photos of the Grapevine epimenis were taken.
