Nice take on the theme

How is this on theme? It typically rains or hails when flowers are blooming. And without them in the title, they would hardly be noticed as they aren't a focal point.

author [banned] says:

This theme has produced a lot of controversy. I think that almost each one of the entries could be questioned in one way or the other, because weather happens. Everything from late snow on flowers or chairs , a rainy day, a stormy day or a rainbow are not really unusual. Most require explanations to "get" it. The term "dichotomized" means divided or opposed, not unusual. Spring flowers and hail are divided and opposed. The focus is the hail. The daffodils show that it is spring. Hail is rare here.

True, weather happens, but it is asking for "opposed" seasons. Hail is typical in the spring and summer, when flowers are blooming. While blooming flowers and hail may be opposed, they don't completely represent clashing or crossing seasons. It is a narrow theme, I'll give you that.

author [banned] says:

Hail is not typical around here.
The theme also says, "Sometimes you'll have a sunny day, but it's raining in the distance.", so opposing seasons are not the whole idea, and many of the entries show rain and sun together, which is not that unusual but it is opposing. Certainly a great deal of confusion here, and I guess that it is up to the voters to decide the outcome by their own interpretation.
