Yellow is the color of spring & Easter. So yellow it is!
We have an old saying: Maaliskuu maata näyttää - meaning
March starts to show the ground / the snow starts to melt.
It has been raining, hopefully the rain does its job!
In many other languages the word March derives from the latin Martius,
meaning a month dedicated to Mars, the god of war - mars (French & Swedish), March, März.
We Finns want to be peculiar and use the word maaliskuu.
It derives probably from the word maa - meaning soil, earth, country.

I saw this pretty cart - it would be fine in the garden too!
To me chrysanthemums say autumn, but why not in the spring too?
Talvi otteensa päästää, kylmiltä kouriltaan säästää.
Siis paiskaa keväälle kättä, tartu siihen empimättä!
Anna auringon kutittaa, piposi alle kurkistaa.
Jopa alkaa naurattaa, pajunkissatkin kikattaa.
Räystäät vettä kippaa - leikittäisiinkö hippaa?
- Kati Söderberg
Winter lets go its grip & loosening its cold fists.
Shake hands with spring, stick to it, don't hesitate!
Let the sun tickle & peek under your cap.
All this makes you laugh, even the catkins start to giggle.
The eaves tip water - shall we play and have fun?
- Kati Söderberg
I am not sure what this joyful creature in primula plantings was - a happy bee?
