"I will survive, spring will arrive..."

Défiant la neige! Début février, les premières fleurs courageuses du cognassier du Japon se sont fait surprendre par un jour de neige.

Merci Ghislaine. J'aurai dû mettre le titre suivant : "la petite fleur à la capuche blanche"...

Thanks Peter. That's interesting, you say "quince flowers", I know it under "Japanese flowering crabapple". But no matter how it's called, it's so pretty...

Thanks Mario, you are right: in spite of the cold they are blooming - and are really beautiful with their white hood....

Wow!!!! What a thrilling picture! What does this remind me of? (Just those flowers were blue... ). But this picture is much more expressive and beautiful. I hope that the flowers will survive without damage. Heat will overcome the winter and everything will be OK.
Best wishes. Serge.

Thanks Serge. No worries: the snow has disappeared this evening... Indeed, it's always surprising to see two extremes (flowers and snow) together....
