What happens when snow melts?

In the city melting snow creates nothing but a mess, mud and puddles. But in countryside it means flowers. The first flowers of the spring start sprouting out of the ground the moment the snow comes off. Piercing the layer of leaves left from the fall they hurry to come out and bloom while the soil is still moist from the melting snow. Most of them are tiny, but all are beautiful (and well worth getting soaked and muddy).
