Grape futures (2)


This photo shows the vine flowers beginning to develop and swell.

The caplets, which will fall off to reveal the flower, when the time comes, can just be made out.

Wine growers will be hoping for calm and warm weather conditions during flowering. Late frost, rain and wind can all compromise the chances of a good harvest by preventing pollination.
