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.

“Again last night I had that strange dream
where everything was exactly how it seemed.
Concerns about the world getting warmer
people thought that they were just being rewarded.”

Early spring! How lovely!
