Flowers
Poppy Progression
Near the bee nesting boxes in the Parc de la Tête d’Or, there is a field. What first appeared to be an unremarkable patch of grass, has undergone the most amazing transformation over the past few months.
The Progression of Spring
The first spring flowers started to appear about a month ago, and we have seen a steady stream of blooms since. The most surprising thing for me has been watching the progression of the flowers.
Native Australian Flowers
Megan had a surprise farewell lunch at work and brought home a beautiful native Australian flower arrangement. Having grown up on the other side of the planet, this arrangement was a delight to see and touch. Plants in Australia tend to be much more hardy; they have thicker and broader leaves to cope with the harsh sun and dry regions.
Farewells Have Begun
My work colleagues hosted a surprise farewell lunch for me this week, and gave me an amazing bunch of Australian native flowers and a bag of goodies that are difficult to find elsewhere in the world.
Spring is On the Way
The cherry blossoms are in bloom; the first sign that spring will soon be with us.
