Some of these examples look battered by the snow and ice, others look as fresh as a daisy. It doesn't matter, the important thing is that Spring is definitely going to happen, sometime.

Spring will come, hope it will not be too long to bust in. Beautiful colours noptek · 2010-01-25: 06:02

Haha! Here in delhi, it was as hot as april! I dont expect any spring, straight into the summers! soubhagya · 2010-01-25: 08:50

I bloody hate January. Every time I see a flower I get all excited until I remember there's February. In southern Greece, where I used to live, Jan was a wonderfully mild month. Thanks for the premise of spring. revenant · 2010-01-25: 10:34

I love the colors of this set. Above all shades of green! (particularly in #7!) Hello Spring! ;-) YUKJA · 2010-01-27: 13:09

In the south it usually starts warming up in February and the flowers start appearing in March. I can't wait! ????? · 2010-01-28: 01:56
