March is the winter month in our city - and, for my taste, it is the best winter month possible. If all winter looked like this, I would have nothing against the long winter months. Unfortunately, the usual winter - the one in December or January - is not a pleasant time. Dusky days, dank and gloomy during thaws, cold and dark during frosts. In March, things change. The days become long, the sun shines brightly in the blue sky, and even if the thermometer is still sub-zero, the sun's rays are noticeably warm. The snow is beginning to melt, but there is still so much that the lawns won't turn green and the flowers in the flowerbeds won't bloom very soon.
This is the time when you really want to approach spring - and employees of the Botanical Garden create such magic every year. In specially equipped rooms they grow beautiful flowers, and you can come to the Botanical Garden to admire the early lilacs, tulips, hyacinths.
This exhibition is called "Lilac Therapy," blooming lilac bushes and the smell of lilacs as the main leitmotif of the exhibition. For comparison, I photographed a lilac bush outside, next to one of the paths in the park. Fortunately, the Botanical Garden has signs near the trees and shrubs, so I can be sure it was the lilac bush I photographed.
