There's a lot to recommend these little guys for any garden, especially if you just can't stand how winter drags on and you crave to see some proof that flowers will indeed return soon! They are virtually carefree once planted (and since they're small bulbs, that's not too big of a task initially), they naturalize nicely after a few years and return faithfully every year, usually around the end of February for us, (though as noted, it was significantly later this year). Once we see Snowdrops nodding their graceful white heads, we know the crocus can't be far behind ... as you can see in the following photo t

Since these were taken a whole host of others have popped up and are blooming in shades ranging from deep purples, yellow, white and striped varieties ... Unfortunately I've not been able to get any pictures yet due to weather ... no more snow, but increasingly frequent rains and overcast days ... Sunday was a glorious high of 82, however with the sustained spring winds of 30-40 mph, it was a bad day to try to get flowers to stand still ... so you'll have to hope (as I am) that there are sunnier, calmer days ahead later this week, so I can capture them and bring them to a gardening blog near you...
... Stay tuned ...

Yay, he's back!
It's definitely spring around here. Most everything is blooming & I'm taking the motorcycle to work.
What FAR said!! Woo hoo ... new growth ... Hello Spring!!
Heyas there folks... glad to see you back as well! Apologies for the lack of flowers, but they've just arrived again of late... and my motivation to get outside as well. Late winter wasn't the most fun part of the year so far, but seems like after that last storm and ensuing changes, things have started to perk up.
Stay tuned for lots more color to come ... popping out all over around here now!
Isn't it wonderful to live in a state where one can actually appreciate spring? :)
Hi IVG
I swear I left a comment over here earlier, but it's not there.
Great pictures and spiffy car. My last car was a 1990 Pontiac Bonneville. I bought it with 185,000 miles on it and sold it with over 395,000 mile on it. Now I just use FMom's car.
I'm looking forward to more pictures.
Take care.
