We leave for Tuscany 4 weeks and am curious about spring blossoms, how green it will it be, etc. Am not to worried regarding our time in Florence and Venice, but when we drive around the Tuscan countryside I am wondering what can we expect?
I know what the average temps and rainfall might be, but have not been able to find any google photo's of the landscape in the middle to late March. We will be staying 90 minutes south of Florence in San Casciano Dei Bagni and plan on driving through the heart of Tuscany and a day trip to Assisi.
Thanks in advance for your knowledge and responses

You can go to flickr.com and do a search for photos with "Tuscany" in the description that were taken within a certain time period, say March 15, 2016 to April 15, 2016.

Since that cold snap with the snow, it's been quite temperate--in fact it's 61 in Rome today. We'll be there and Sorrento next month and am hoping the trend continues. Two years ago--same timeframe--it was cold and windy from Florence all the way down to Salerno.

Trees or flowers may not be blossoming yet before the end of March, as it is a bit too soon, but it depends on how early (or late) spring weather comes this year. That varies. Sometimes they blossom at the end of February.
The grass is always very green and starts turning a bit yellowish/dry in June/July.
