It's still chilly outside and the snow is still here just like yesterday but two things are different:
The sun came out at noon to let us remember how spring feels like and the second: the flower prices hit the sky.
Why? Well, we have this beautiful and sometimes costly custom called Martisor.
Martisor is a spring symbol in the form of an amulet, any kind of figurine, mostly handmade, with a white-red string attached to it. The string is a must.

They are sold everywhere, is shops and streets.

Accompanied by beautiful spring flowers, the Martisor is given as a sign of appreciation to women by friends, colleagues, children (even husband), on the 1st of March.
Hyacinth, as a symbol of rebirth, is one of the flowers of the day.

Que lindas flores!
This is an interesting and nice custom. The Hyacinth look very exotic to me and their scent is strong and delicious.
