In southwest China's Sichuan Province, spring has brought some fresh buds to blossom. Pear blossoms in Huaying City are embracing the spring rainfall. They first appear as green buds that later become white as the weather warms, sometimes a month into spring. They are delicate but offer a mild sweet scent.
