It may still be winter with fields covered in snow, but around Valentine's Day, brilliant blooms abound as bouquets of flowers fill the shops. As the first snowdrops and crocuses appear, you know that spring is just around the corner and valley meadows will soon be carpeted in a kaleidoscope of colourful wild flowers. Summer arrives and chalet balconies are bedecked with beautiful blossoms. The rich red, yellow and gold of autumn set a quieter mood as the annual cycle slowly once more draws to its close. Diamonds maybe forever, but flowers are for everyone!
