Spring, the blooming season

Welcome to a spring on Öland! We choose to call this hopeful, brightening time the blooming season. If you knew what sprouts on Öland when spring approaches! The flowering season does not follow any set dates, it follows the shifts of nature. Doesn't it give a hopeful feeling when the first colors appear in nature's gray-brown palette? This is when the booming season begins. The shelves of the shops are being restocked with spring news, outdoor terraces are opening up and restaurateurs are planning menus with a taste of ramson and fresh herbs. Gradually, nature is coloured to end the flowering season with the crowning glory: the orchids.
