Only 27 days are left until spring — at least, until the calendar spring. First, the snow will disappear, then early flowers will appear on thawed clearings warmed by the sun, and the steppe will transform.

The green grass will be joined by a riot of tulips and other spring steppe flowers, visible even near Volgograd.
Such beauty can be seen very close to the city limits.

Remember, these flowers are delicate: admire and photograph them freely, but do not pick them. Picked flowers wilt quickly, and since they are rare and protected, picking can lead to substantial fines.
Up close, buds and leaves look like thickets in a tropical forest.
