Spring in Stockholm

I can tell it's spring here. There seems to be more energy in the city, more people out. I believe a favorite activity for people is to sit in the sun. Anything that you can sit on, and is in the sun will have people on it. I went to this park, there was a circle of benches around a monument, but only the benches that were in the sunlight had people on them, the others had no one.

The church around the corner from where I live has flowers that are beginning to emerge. I noticed them the other day on my walk to work. I have no idea what they are, purple, white, and yellow flowers? I image that they will get mowed off once the grass is long enough. Not sure if these things are planted in the grass or if they are wild?

On another note, I wanted to get my hair cut on Saturday. As it turns out, most hair places close at 3pm on Saturdays. This makes getting your hair cut at 3:30, a bit tricky. Yet another lesson learned. I purchased a blender today at Åhléns City, I feel domestic.

They're crocuses. You plant the bulbs once, and then they come up every spring.

Thanks Rosie, my sister let me in on that fact as well. I guess I'm not that well versed with perennial flowering plants. :)
