My flower naming system is pretty much this.
Pretty white, blue, red, yellow, flowers.
For anything not a dandelion , tulip or daffodil.

This turned out to be smaller than pea size.
I've seen car damage here from hail when it looks like someone used a peening hammer on the roof and hoods.

when everything wakes up from a cold and dreary winter.

The greenery certainly softens up the city. At least the areas out of the center.
