Ah, yes.  The lingering uncertain winter, even with melting  slagheaps
of dirty snow, and then the sudden onset of hot and humid weather
(summer).  Spring flowers are gone in a blink of the eye.
 
How well I remember that from a half-century in the Upper Midwest  USA.
 
Pennsylvania has a definite spring season, and our gradual warming,
cool weather this year was tailor-made for an orderly progression of
blooming plants of all types.
 
Of course the locals were fretting that summer would never come.   They
wanted hot and humid, I guess.  
 
Not me.
