Spring in Provence

Having been away for just ten days Provence totally changed its outfit to welcome us back: the poppies are out, and I even detected the very first Iris blooming on the side of my road. Even the vineyards sprout their first little green leaves. Spring when it finally arrives after a long winter is probably the most beautiful season of them all in Provence!

  6. I love poppies and the other spring flowers in Provence. Actually surprised to see them before the 1st of May especially given the winter weather. I am hoping the poppies will still be out when we get there in a few weeks.
