A walk on New Year's Day morning

It's wonderfully cool. It is 6am and the sun is shining on the bright green new leaves bursting from the blackened tree trunks. I thought all the flowers and orchids had finished; we have, after all, had 40 degree days recently and no rain for weeks. But lo and behold, two blooms I don't remember seeing before.
