Delicate stems bend, and petals shed in the April rains and March winds; early buds freeze in two-faced Spring.
Tulips and daffodils, croci, and hyacinths bend down before the weather’s onslaught.
Mismatched blossoms, missing random parts, determinedly turn their damaged faces to the meagre sun and strain to lift their bodies out of the clinging mud.
Why are the heralds of Spring designed with such frailty when early Spring is so harsh?
