a little tongue in cheek fun poked at those with less beautiful weather. This is my hometown-we are a little north now but still have primulas, crocus, heather blooming. haven't noticed the trees except the alder(sneeze)I think they also count palm trees now too at least in Oak Bay. Less than 2 month and we should be there. Gypsy
