It is only a few days until March - the start of Meteorological Spring. We get to celebrate two springs each year. It is at this turning point - from February to March - that we experience big variations in climate - green grass and rain one day and snow flurries another.
Compare this to Vancouver and Victoria where the early cherry blossoms are in bloom. Butchart Gardens calls February the Spring Prelude. South of us in Delaware at Winterthur, millions of snow drops and early crocus are in bloom by mid-February.
So while I may be able to see the leaves of snow drops outside the office window in between the snow and rain, they won't be blooming for a number of weeks. I can enjoy the photos of spring gardens past. The pictures today are from the Royal Botanical Gardens before the renovation of the Rock Garden.
And here is a spring flower joke: Roses are gray Violets are gray Tulips are gray Because I am a dog
