Walking to the Luxembourg Gardens yesterday I passed this flower shop on rue Vavin overflowing with spring flowers. It was a perfect way to kickoff the official start of spring along with the sunny skies and temperature in the high 50s . I love the flowers sprouting from the tin watering cans.

YESssssss; spring has sprung... We too were in 'town' and admired the marvellous displays of flower shops and the 'sprouting' of people outside the bistrots and bars.... IT'S SPRING! Thank you dear friend for this beautiful display; the mimosa trees made me sneeze, they look so real on my screen!! :)
