Is Spring Upon Us?

On a walk back from Forest Hill Station, I peeped a cluster of the oh-so-fragrant pink flowers on our native Pink Flowering Currant, Ribes sanguineum glutinosum. Can this be a sign that Spring is soon upon us?!

If you spot one of these guys in your 'hood, I urge you to take a whiff of the flower. The fragrance is sweet, just as you'd expect from a currant.
