As the buds begin to open after the long cold winter.

Have you ever really looked at the buds on a tree or shrub as they open in the spring? They are fun to observe and to learn about. They come in lots of different shapes and colors, and they have been there, waiting to grow, all winter.

As spring weather starts to warm up, the buds that have been waiting dormant all winter (sleeping, not growing and changing) will start to grow. Their first change is that they will get bigger. They will be easier to see. People who didn’t notice them before sometimes think that the buds just showed up on the trees and shrubs now, but we know better.
