No, it's not your imagination. Spring has arrived weeks earlier and gardeners are having to adapt

Flowers planted for Canberra's Floriade festival are blooming weeks ahead of schedule due to warmer weather, while commercial horticulturalists are having to adapt their planting to meet the changing seasons.

Unseasonably warm weather means flowers have bloomed a month before Canberra’s Floriade festival begins.

ANU climatologist Janette Lindesay says winter is getting shorter and spring is starting earlier, and commercial horticulturalists like Paul De Jong are having to adapt to the changing weather.

Floriade organisers are not planing to bring forward the opening and are confident the flowers will look vibrant throughout the month-long festival.
