Spring is coming: Gerbera Daisies

Spring is coming. On TV they said it was 20ºC in the South yesterday and almond trees are in blossom in Lleida, Catalonia. Maybe the weather in Spain won't be that warm till next month but at least days are longer. The happiest and most invigorating time of the year is around the corner in this part of the world. By the way, it's not the first time I show Gerbera daisies in Barcelona Photoblog. What can I do if they are so common in our gardens. I offer them to honor the upcoming March equinox. Welcome Spring!
