springtime
When flowers emerge
Springtime is the season of spring, when winter gives way to warming weather and plants begin to grow.
The word often carries poetic or nostalgic overtones that plain "spring" lacks: in the springtime of youth, springtime in Paris.
It suggests renewal, freshness, and new beginnings.
