I thought it was early when I saw this tree in Pouzolles this morning, but it’s a year to the day since I posted a photo of mimosa here. It’s good to see this first sign of spring.

Does it always spring up on us this sign of spring. John is convinced that we will have an early spring.. I am hoping he is right. I long for flowers. i guess the blog is a great way to document some things. Looking back at entries would be great! c
I hope you get some spring flowers soon!
Really beautiful – and so much of it! We have almond blossom here. Seems early, but maybe not?
We usually have almond blossom a couple of weeks after the mimosa – that’s the sign that spring is really here.
That must be one beautful tree to watch tremble in a breeze. Is there a scent to the blossom sprays? Now that would be heaven-sent — or is it “scent” — coming at the very start of Spring.
It doesn’t have much scent, but it does look wonderful in the breeze.
That is a stunning tree! We have some daffodils trying to pop early here right now.
Looks great – envious
That looks beautiful and almost warm 😉
In Wales we always looked for the first snowdrop and then the first daffodil. I have tried planting both but they don’t seem to grow so well here in the south of France. We have some vineyards with wild Star of Bethlehem which is a little like a snowdrop but my favorite flower at this time of year is the mimosa. I also check the vineyards for any almond trees that need a little pruning – the blossom scents the whole room.
Hi I put a post on my blog about Hazel in flower in Poitou -Charentes region. It seems to get earlier every year. You work hard on your blog, posts every few days how many hits do you get a week. I am new to all this.
