Thanks for the addition Fons.  It was especially chosen for the designed garden of Interpolis. But you are right, some years it's a short flowering time.  It actually survived the current frost a bit, I think.

Yes - I would be surprised if winter should return but March can surprise. It hasn't really been winter at all. Boring.. I love snow and frost during winter.

March 17 2016. This parkway with tall trees is just outside my front door.

I have witnessed a similar scene near lake Constance a  while ago. Where is that?

Here is a first picture of today.
And a second one added.

I just looked at the posted image and I apologize for the lack of quality.  The sun was fading and I wanted to get a shot up ... it looked okay in the iPhone.  On the left in a pot flowering is a rose, China Girl and on the right are some succulents flowering ... dunno the name.  We have a lot of succulents and they all flower.  I appreciate the great lengths succulents go to when they flower.  I'll break out the macro and do them right.

I have a great love for plants, so my assessment was quite wrong calling the flowers Allium. Embarassed to find many young people know zilch about nature etc.
just being happy to be a machine operator, my unpolitical and unreligious opinion.

"Happy machine operators" would be a great name for a band.

I am quite unhappy to not be able to name plants properly, except for some very common ones like these
tulips I shot last night at a friend's house:
