When a tropical gal like me comes to live in a different climate zone such as Korea, one thing I have found out is that you become thankful when spring has started. Winter gets long and dreary plus the bone chilling cold does not help at all. So, after three long cold months, the first sign of buds on the trees are a welcome sight.
The first time I experienced spring, it was a joy to behold. Everything seems to come alive as the earth changes her grey wardrobe to a vibrant mixtures of greens and reds, yellows and purple. When my parents came over to visit me here a few years back, my mother exclaimed out loud to my hubby "Bill, why aren't they cutting down those dead trees?" (pointing to the grove of peach trees). My hubby gently told her that those leafless trees weren't dead at all. It was just the end of winter and it was too cold for the leaves to come back. My mom sadly shook her head and gravely told him that they were dead. Imagine my mom's suprise when she saw the peach trees flower and bud. She was so overjoyed and laughed over her mistake.
So here are some of spring flowers that I have taken pictures of.
