Teeny, tiny flowers

Yup! You've guessed it! Spring is already here in Vancouver, can you believe it?? As most of you know, I'm not a huge flower fan, I can tell what the difference between a rose, a tulip, a lily, and a daisy... but that's about it! I don't go on and on about some gorgeous flower I saw that other day, and I'm allergic to pollen... Still, as I was walking to school today, I noticed that there were teeny, tiny little purple flowers on a bush! And after I noticed that... well then I saw little pink flowers on a tree (a cheery-blossom maybe?), and little white flowers that looked like tear-drops (aren't there flowers called tear-drops?), and also tiny little light green sprouts (I think those are from bulbs)!!! And it's only the middle of February, in Canada! 1 point for Vancouver! 

Another point for Vancouver: no rain since at least 2 weeks!!! (Of course, they are forecasting rain for the next week or so, exactly when my brother will be visiting...)
