Maple flowers.
  
The front line of spring’s progress can be followed nicely on a journey from Riga to Estonia. In the capital of our neighbours the trees are already dressed in tender pale-green foliage, but somewhere before reaching the Estonian border the branches become bare. But the maples (Acer platanoides) in our towns already have pretty bunches of flowers, and this marks the beginning of phenological spring. The maples even in Tallinn flower, but of course spring in the city is earlier than in the rest of the country. In cracks in the asphalt the first dandelion flowers are open too – elsewhere they are not to be seen yet. Towns with their heating pipes and black asphalt always encourage early flowers more than forests.
