The Colours of Spring

Spring is in full bloom!

As I live in a housing block, I don't have a garden of my own, but I do have the botanical gardens on my doorstep. This is my go to when I need to connect with the green world and just be. So now after the bare Winter months, life is bursting forth again.

Having originally come from subtropical latitudes, where there is no Winter hibernation for the plants and animals, I'm still endlessly fascinated with the radical change that Spring brings.

Many of the Spring flowers do not last long with the rapidly changing weather. There were weeks with no rain and come species of plum and cherries were in sweet fragrant bloom. Then in the space of one night with heavy rain, most of the blossoms lie like snow on the ground.

Thankfully, many other species of flowers are not so fragile and welcome the rain.

With the plants come the insects and many species of wild bee are already busy pollinating and building nests.

If it is currently Spring on your end of the planet, I hope you can get out and enjoy the change of season.

Spring is great and I can see you enjoy it. With some plants doing well and the beautiful flowers in this post, Its a thing of joy. Over here, we are enjoying spring already. farmers have already started getting their farms ready. We hope to enjoy it till around August when the rains start regularly again.

Spring it may be, but we just had snow rain today, so the weather is still transitioning. I've even seen half a meter of snow in April!

Meanwhile it's cooling down over here XD

Did you have wet and dry seasons in the subtropics and associated animal movements?

Yes, wet Summer with moisture coming off the ocean, dry Winter with cold dry inland air coming over the mountains.
