Spring in Germany

Today is the beginning of spring in germany. But its still very cold that it reached minus 6 degrees this morning. Birds and flowers are a sure sign that spring is on its way. Here in germany, there is a designated time for cutting the trees. People are now allowed to cut the branches of the trees because there's still no leaves. This is to avoid killing the baby birds on the nest once leaves already grow on a tree.

Tulips also bloom best when planted in the autumn months typically october. They should be planted in the fall or early winter to bloom in spring because they require a long period of cool temperatures to spark the biochemical process that causes them to flower.
