Crocus Species (Snow Crocus Mixture)
Taking a break from some weeding in the garden. Every square inch needs attention but it is great to be back outdoors again.
75° Fahrenheit. Sunny. With cheery birds for company, a gentle breeze is making the chimes sing.

These crocuses were planted in Fall 2016, but I was not able to spend much time in the garden last year, so I do not remember them blooming in 2017—probably. At any rate they are brightening my week.
Columbine is coming up underneath. Since the garden was begun in 2001, it has spread itself all around.

Ahhh! What a feeling…..
Donna, it was a great day. Your chance will come.
Your crocus are so pretty, they really make you think that spring is on it’s way!
Thanks Pauline. Spring was here for at least this day. It was lovely being outside.
75 degrees sounds like heaven. Sunny days here but lows in the 20’s. I’m too much of a wimp to get out there.
I don’t blame you Ricki. Sounds like a day to curl up inside.
Nothing like February in the South. Enjoy!
Thanks. It was a lovely day.
Happy to hear
75 sounds so great to me! Enjoy!
It was a treat today. Weeded until 6pm. Wish I could say I finished but not even close.
I love crocuses and yours are exceptionally pretty. I planted some of these bulbs when we first moved to our current place 7 years ago. Unfortunately, this isn’t a crocus-friendly climate. I received a couple of dozen this past fall as a gift with purchase and half a dozen have actually bloomed, so short and tiny that I almost missed them. I don’t imagine they’ll be paying a return visit next year, though.
They are fleeting here also Kris, but worth adding a few every year.
Looking forward to seeing mine in bloom soon!
Hope yours will flower soon Anca!
Beautiful temps and beautiful blooms. Nice. 🙂
Thanks. You were probably having nice weather in MB as well.
Oh, those are very pretty! What a great idea to have Crocuses and Columbine planted together! Thanks for sharing your beauties. 🙂
The columbine chose that spot Beth. It has made its way just about to every nook and cranny in the garden. I love it though, most of the time.
Your crocuses are so pretty…something I can’t grow here, so I’ll enjoy yours.
My pleasure to share. I don’t usually have much luck with crocuses.
I love the purple on the outside of the petals. And Columbine foliage is wonderful.
Hi Ali, yes I like that purple streak also, like a brush stroke of color.
I am pleased for you that things have improved and you again have time to enjoy your garden Susie.
That is so kind of you Brian. It feels very nice to reconnect with the garden.
I love Crocuses. They’re so cheerful!
They are happy little flowers, aren’t they. This time of year I always wish I’d planted more bulbs in the the fall.
That sounds beautifully warm, it’s just grey here today after a gloriously sunny day yesterday.
It’s been gray here a lot also Christina and wet (almost out of drought again!) so a sunny day we time to get out in the garden was especially nice. Hope you have some nice warm sun soon.
It’s always a joy when the sun comes out and the crocuses open up. We had a sunny day today and there they were, reminding us that spring is round the corner.
I’m picturing in your garden enjoying sunshine and readying for spring!
