Spring is here! Slowly but surely, the temperatures are rising, inviting us to long walks, barbecues, and more. To help readers of the Mia Mai blog get into the spring spirit, we've designed a few more buttons and would like to introduce them here:

The snowdrop

One of the most well-known flower species in German gardens is the snowdrop. It has a reputation as a harbinger of spring, as no other native flower blooms so early. Ideal for a buttonhole to banish winter!

A blue tit greets...

...and chirps happily away – because spring is also a happy time for birds. There's finally enough food to be found again. Can you imagine spring without the birdsong? Hardly. Therefore, a corresponding button is needed to complete our spring series.

Flower game

A little ladybug decides to take a closer look at these crocus blossoms. The crocus is also a typical spring flower. If the crocus blooms like the one on this button, spring has already begun—or the other way around...

We hope this spring mix has put you in the right mood. And to finish, here's a short poem by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe —perhaps one of the most famous German spring or flower poems of all time! Enjoy:

Found

I walked in the forest
So for me,
And nothing to look for,
That was my intention.

In the shadow I saw
A little flower stands,
Shining like stars,
As beautiful as little eyes.

I wanted to break it,
It says nicely:
Should I wither
Be broken?

I dug it with all
The little spices.
I carried it to the garden
At the pretty house.

And plant it again
In the quiet place;
Now it always branches
And so it continues to bloom.
