What changed in three weeks?

In just three short weeks, the daffodils took off.

In early spring, the landscape transitions from winter dormancy to signs of renewal, with temperatures gradually rising and snow and ice melting. Late spring sees a more vibrant and lush landscape as flowers bloom in abundance.

This involves bud swelling, leaf emergence, and the start of photosynthesis. Some plants also initiate flowering and seed production, while others prepare for summer growth.
