Common Spring Flowers
Imagine spring as a magical season when nature starts to wake up after a long winter nap.
During this time, colorful flowers begin to bloom, turning the world into a vibrant and lively place.
Tulips, with their big, bright cups in various shades, stand tall in gardens, while daffodils resemble golden trumpets announcing the arrival of spring.
Daisies are simple and friendly, with yellow centers and white petals, and crocuses, like tiny colorful cups, often peek through the last bits of snow.
