A purple crocus.There are also snowdrops. We have a small bunch of them that started coming up one year out by the garden path. Last year, Ken and I "appropriated" a few more from a place out in the woods where they were coming up. I planted them in our yard last fall. The moles dug them up this winter.
A yellow crocus.I was not happy, but on Sunday morning I noticed that the moles missed a patch and they've come up. They're very small, this being their first year after transplant, but I'm hopeful that they will survive the moles and flourish.
Oh how beautiful they are!
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's, Walt!
Go ahead and take the day off, Walt.
ReplyDeleteGreat colors Walt - good to see spring coming your way.
ReplyDeleteJust got back from a Valentine's Dinner. Sue and I were playing the game, best dinners in France. What was the restaurant we ate at last year with you, Carol and Mikee?
I second Bill's comment :)
ReplyDeleteI am excited about the crocus plants coming up!

ReplyDelete♥♥♥♥I third what CA Bill said;) ♥♥♥♥♥
ReplyDeleteYay!! A sure sign of spring.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colours. Our crocuses will not be in flower for a long time yet !! But we do have some snowdrops.
ReplyDeleteI remember the year squirrels ate all our tulips bulbs. We planted them so carefully and a week later they were all gone.
Mind you, we have been getting our own back. Nick bought an air rifle when squirrels started nesting in our loft. So far he has shot about 30.
Yes sir, here too!
ReplyDeleteSpring has sprung!!!

Pretty.
ReplyDeleteThanks, everyone! I hope you all took the day off. I did (thanks for the encouragement, Bill).
ReplyDeleteleon, the restaurant is called Le Mange-Grenouille.
I'm so jealous. We are still weeks from seeing anything pop thru the frozen ground (although yesterday and today in Boston were in the mid-50s F / 15C).
ReplyDeleteI am really over winter at this point and its only mid-February. Ugh.
