City blossom, hot springs, and Fuji behind
The Tuscan hills while they are still green
Long light, no midges, empty roads
Terraced vineyards, budding, and a slow train
The coast path open, the crowds not yet arrived
Provence before the lavender and the crowds
Gorges open, hills in flower, sea still cold
Two alpine lakes and a very small capital
Almond blossom among Greek temples
Sugar shacks, pea soup, syrup poured on snow
Blossom, long evenings, no summer queues
A flower festival, and levadas through laurel forest
Blossom, parks and the Chelsea Flower Show
Blossom in temple gardens, and crowds to plan around
Seven million bulbs, open eight weeks a year
Painted-egg markets, then apricot blossom
Azaleas out, humidity not yet arrived
The beer gardens reopen under the chestnuts
