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.

Spring Flowering Plants for your Garden

Spring, the very word invokes the thought of rebirth, rapidly lengthening days, emerging blossoms and greenery, and the smell of freshness. In the spring season of the human life cycle, we undertake new beginnings.

We may begin a new job, career, pastime, or relationship. We may start a new lifestyle or alter the old one. Spring is a time for overcoming the inertia of winter rest and springing into action, to sow the seeds of our winter planning which, with careful husbandry, will provide a rewarding harvest come autumn.

Choose plants that flower at different times of the year, rather than all of them flowering at once. Below is a list of popular spring flowering plants.
