About a month ago, I saw a lone cherry blossom thinking it was time to bloom....and then yesterday, I walked past another lone bud beginning to open. Our Magnolia seems to flower a couple of times a year now and my doctor, when I saw him a month ago, pointed out that wattle was blooming early all over Sydney due to the change in climate so hayfever sufferers were in for a long hall....
We may not see the big extremes but the little changes are confusing nature, in small but perceptible ways, even in the city.
It really is becoming the case of #Allseasons...all the time.

Yes, climate change makes it possible... A lot of things are mixed up here too. Although this year is very different from the previous one. In spring/summer 2023 there was a drought and one of our large lakes (Neusiedlersee) was on the verge of drying up, in 2024 it rains frequently, there were floods and landslides and the lake has returned...
ReplyDeleteI'm also linking to a lake on your site - but one from late summer in New Zealand. But the picture fits just as well with early summer in Austria...
All the best, Traude

Lydia, Really enjoyed your posts about Vivid, and other activities. Also congrats to your child for middle school graduation - very happy for a real graduation this time!!! Thanks so much for hosting the Where the Wild Things were each week. - Patty
ReplyDelete...some plants are confused, just like people.
ReplyDeleteIt's the same here with unseasonal plant flowering/and/or/dying. It was most odd a few weeks ago to see a Callery pear tree having both blossom and mature fruit, as well as yellowing Autumn leaves! (see: https://melbournedaily.blogspot.com/2024/05/spring-in-autumn.html ). Thanks for hosting and have a good week (Nick from MAP)
ReplyDeleteWe are all confused with climate change going on. Thanks for hosting and I hope that you have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteThat's such a pretty little flower. A lovely pink.
ReplyDeleteAllergies are horrible regardless of season.
ReplyDeleteThe cherry blossom is pretty. Thank you for sharing!
Take care and best wishes.
Beautiful cherry blossom, we all are suffering from ill effects of Global warming and climate change. Thanks for sharing with Garden Affair.
ReplyDeleteLove the cherry blossom period.
