Spring Time with Tulips

Spring is one of the four temperate seasons, the conversion time between winter and summer. Spring and "springtime" refer to the season, and also to ideas of rebirth, renewal and regrowth. 

The specific definition of the exact timing of "spring" varies according to local climate, cultures and customs. Spring is here. 

Europe celebrates springtime with tulips. The world says it with flowers but Europe says it with carpets of tulip.
