    So pretty! The warm yellow color reminds me of some of the yellow Freesias here once they age a bit.

    Lovely. I don’t have any crocus, but my daffodils and hyacinths are coming up.

    I’ve never seen this color crocus before. It looks so soft and, dare I say, yummy. 🙂

      Thanks, Barbara. This may have been a cross between white and yellow that the bees made. I don’t remember ever planting them, but who knows? I’ve been here over 30 years and have planted plenty in that time. 🙂

    This is a shade I don’t remember seeing in flowers before; it’s very appealing.

      Thank you, Linda. I’m not sure if this one came from a supplier or was a cross the bees made between yellow and white, but it is the only bunch in the lawn. Purple predominates, with white and yellow seeming to be not so strong.

    I’ve noticed that the crocus are stupendous this year. Have you experienced the same thing?

    • Eliza Waters's avatar Eliza Waters says:

      Yes, I guess they were already dormant, so the drought didn’t bother them. I’m wondering about the spring flowering shrubs that set buds in summer… so far the forsythia was a bust. It may have been the deep freeze we had, too. Apparently, the peach harvest will be nil around here this year. 😦

    I hope they ‘spread’….at least some’bunny’ hasn’t made a meal of those beauties.

      Thank you, Alice. Until the edges grow up for protection, the bunnies don’t seem to be comfortable that far out in the open. Summer is a different story!

    Spring is coming your way.

      With the temps to rise to 70-80º in the next few days, it’ll feel like we skipped spring altogether. Strange weather, but we’ll be back to normal spring temps in the 50s next week. The last patches of snow are fading fast and the bulbs are bursting forth. 🙂
