The message
from Emery Davis contains these words:

Do flowers count? *The oaks here in Normandy are nowhere near bursting,
but have noticed an ash putting out those big black flowers.

Somehow it seems like a normal, wet summer would be a good thing.

I think it refers to the appearance of the leaves.

Hoping that the dear old met office will forecast a wet summer this
year, so we can have a nice one!

Haven't they been forecasting a 'BBQ Summer'?

Didnt some botanist prove the Ash always comes before the Oak, because
the Ash responds to temperature while the Oak uses day length?
