" This winter has been a particularly brutal one that has left people longing for spring more than ever before. Which is why it is perhaps no surprise that when National Geographic posted a photo of rolling plains covered by millions of baby blue flowers this week, it immediately captured the country&amp;#039; s imagination.     The photos come from Hitachi Seaside Park in Hitachinaka, Ibaraki, Japan, a floral wonderland known for its unbelievably vibrant displays.  RELATED:\u00A013 Ways to Put Some Spring in Your Sunroom    The public park attracts thousands of visitors who come to see sprawling landscapes filled with tulips, narcissus, and korchia.     But its most stunning attraction consists of the 4.5 million Nemophila\u2014the powder blue flower below\u2014that bloom every year.     Looking at the photos, you can almost smell their sweet fragrance, and imagine yourself rolling amidst their soft, translucent petals on a fresh, sunny April day.    So if in these dwindling days of winter you should ever despair, just remember that this is what lies before you.
