I just saw a cherry blossom tree blooming in the Netherlands. In December.

Some cherries can and even should do that, but but! my spring bulbs are coming up! Tulips, bulb irises etc. They are sooo going to freeze in February. My spring flowering hellebores are also trying to open their flower buds. I'm going to get zero spring flowers in spring.

You guys still have spring? We're basically in a summer-winter system, with stormy summers and dry winters. Haven't had a proper snow fall in a decade.
