From snow to blossom

I wish I knew how to provide you with a direct link to the photo I blipped on December 25 of this garden covered with snow, but I hope you will look for it on your own.  This is how those same trees look today - just past their peak of blossom, but beautiful all the same.   I managed to catch them between the  bouts of rain we had all day.  I've also included an Extra of a beautiful orchid I saw at the market today, before getting soaked as I headed back to my car.
