For me, there are two different days each year when spring begins. One of them is the spring equinox, March 20 this year. The other is the day I first notice that bright yellow forsythias have burst into bloom, cheerily announcing the joyful season to come.
Humans seem to have a primordial connection to flowers: They’re a symbol of life and rebirth. It’s no surprise that cultures around the world cherish springtime blossoms, a sign that Earth is waking up from the slumber of winter and redecorating the planet with a colorful new carpet.
In a new Bing Travel slide show, you’ll see some of the best opportunities for flower-viewing around the globe, including the nation’s oldest botanical garden, in Washington, D.C., and the extensive flower beds at the Dallas Arboretum. You can enjoy the tulip fields in the Netherlands or Washington state’s Skagit Valley; or, if the sky decides the world needs a refreshing rain, check out indoor conservatories in Chicago or San Francisco.
