Must be spring, because the vultures are back. The lilacs and one of my little cherry trees are starting to blossom.

I got a postcard from nantucketlit.com/postcards with a poem by @asakiyume

A Mango tree in full bloom, 5th March 2026, in Delhi

Meanwhile in South India mango fruit are being sold by fruit sellers both boutique and normal (meaning to say easily available) (see linked post)

Spring is in the air, it is on the ground, and it is showing up on winter deciduous trees.

This cluster shows a still leafless Himalayan Birch (Betula alnoides) full of yellow catkins, the other taller trees are Himalayan Alder (Alnus nepalensis) which have new leaves & leaf buds. The dark evergreen trees are Tree Rhododendron (Rhododendron arboreum).

🌱 Flowers open, forests shift, and ancient trees move through their days with a quiet sense of rhythm. What if plants keep time more subtly than our clocks?

A different kind of timekeeping waits beneath each leaf.

"The advanced flowering phenology and changes in flowering duration reported here were of unprecedented magnitude, showcasing the extreme effects of climate change on Mediterranean ecosystems."
