Nice meaningless anecdotal based claim In your dreams. Have a look at the real data. How much of a "Doubting Thomas" are you? Your claim about flower blooming times - you think thats evidence of anythin? What flowers? When do they bloom and did they bloom a century ago? Where is the documentation? Has there been breeding for earlier blooming? Is there a micro-climate effect? No, just throw out a claim and expect it to be accepted as "data". Re. that - how much is due to the urban heat island effect? Urban Heat Island effects are well understood and compensated for. Well understood. But not accounted for. Almost all climate stations outside the US (and there aren't very many) are in urban areas - which have become more urbanized over time. Climate stations in the US which go back decades frequently have had development creep around them changing the microclimate. There is one in my home town which was in an orchard when I was a kid is now surrounded by residential and commercial development. The farm and orchard is long gone.
