I believe it's "Blackberry Winter".

"Strawberry spring" refers to a period of mild weather in mid-winter, at least according to Stephen King.

I feel like someone made a claim a while ago that South Florida had lots of deciduous trees and looked brown in winter. Maybe I'm misremembering, but considering December in central Florida looks like this, that claim wouldn't make sense.

I am simply asking does anyone know what the certain conditions are for grass the grow in a pond/lake. This year is the first since 2010 that grass is growing in a pond 40-50m by 15-20m near my house.

I'm guessing it's a drying pattern for a few years so the soil is fairly wet yet still dry enough to allow for plant growth. The whole pond dries out- happens once a year or so. Seeds are deposited at a large enough amount that grass can grow in abundance. Also it has to be dry for a while but have little bits of rain (this summer) to provide moisture for plant life. I believe it must be a 5-6 year cycle, with only one year growing. Last time I could play hide and seek with my cousins, the grasses got to around 1.6m, quite tall.

I'm just wondering if anyone else has anything to say about it, if there's a cycle or it's just random. Also does it happen near your house? Especially if you have a different climate because then it probably isn't due to rainfall, maybe soil moisture? Water table? Seed deposit amounts etc etc.

I've been watching a lot of trucker videos on YouTube lately, it's a very interesting lifestyle. Not something I'd do, but the traveling part looks fun.

Think I did really well on my calculus test.
