Eliza Waters 
These crocuses look gorgeous!
Thank you, Hien!
Now, that perked up my morning before the snow starts flying. 🙂
Thank you, Judy. Glad to hear it! 🙂
What a pretty way to end winter. Another plant we can’t grow here.
Thank you, spring bulbs are a joyful end to winter for sure. 🙂
Love those…have you seen any Honey bees enjoying them?
Not many bees yet. It’s been kind of chilly here, but warmer days lie ahead!
Lovely to see!
Thank you, after a long winter, they are a joy to behold!
That color of crocus is my favorite! So cheery and pretty.
Thank you, Monika. I’d say it is my favorite as well. Super hardy, too, which helps!
I do so love Crocus. I wish they loved my little section of SoCal.

Thank you, Kris. I put them in my lawn and let the ants spread their seeds around. Looks like it is going to be a good show this year. 🙂
Gorgeous display to celebrate spring.
Thank you, Susie. Every day more pop up, makes my heart sing!
Beautiful crocus Eliza! 🤍💜 xxx
Thank you, Xenia! 🙂
Croci! A sure sign of Spring ⭐️
IKR? Such a happy sight! 🙂
Is this a crocus? It’s lovely! I often see the deep purple ones, but I don’t think I’ve ever seem this “striped” variety. Unusual, and so pretty!
So much detail in the blossoms. 😊
It’s my favorite variety. Thanks, Pepper!
Petite and pretty.
Thank you, Sandy. 🙂
So jaunty! Welcome, spring!
Thank you, Laurie. I love that the crocus are popping up all over the lawn. Tiny gifts!
Such a lovely way to put it.
Pickwick pretty!!
Thanks, Tina!
Those are stunning!
Thank you very much, Adele!
What a great colour Eliza. Have there been any bees out and about yet?
I’ve seen only a few, the weather has been rather mixed up lately!
Such a pretty image, mine finally opened a few days ago.
Thanks, Tom. More pop up every day, a happy sight!
Oh! How delightful!
Thank you, Dale. The first spring bulbs are such a thrill. 🙂
They are…. and my turn will come. Eventually!
👍🏼 🤞🏼
💞
These are cute Eliza, the background purple and white so highlight that golden center. If we could understand them they are probably asking for a hug 🤗❤️🙏
Thanks, Mark. 🙂
They’re so pretty. I was surprised to read your mention of ants moving their seeds around — but why not?
Thanks! Yes, they are clever gardeners. 😉 But truly, it is the plant that is clever to create tasty elaiosomes that attract ants, which eat this covering, then deposit the unharmed seed in their middens which sprout and grow.
I must have come across this phenomenon before, because ‘elaiosomes’ is familiar. I’ll have to search my blogs and see where or how I used the word!
Love them! 💜 You must be delighted!
Thanks, Barbara, indeed I am!
So pretty!
Thank you!
Beautiful Eliza!
Thank you, Agnes!
joyful blooms
For sure! 🙂
Love seeing the first signs of spring, while it is still wintry here!
I know your hunger for spring, Denise. I’ve been rejoicing seeing the crocus this past week. Hope yours come soon!
Crocuses are such a wonderful early herald of spring. Lovely grouping of them. 🙂
Thank you, Beth!
Those are lovely. Glad to see spring is showing up in your part of the world. 🙂
At last! Thanks, Robin. 🙂
What a beautiful sunny spring image!🙂
Thank you, a welcome sight, for sure!
Delightful!
Thank you, Donna!
What a sweet posy, Eliza! Spring is here, hooray…
Thank you, Kim. So happy the warmer weather is here!
They are such a glorious sign that Spring has arrived. I’ve only ever seen pink ones!
One of the first to bloom here in spring, they create much excitement!
So pretty 🌸🌸
Thank you, Karen. 🙂
These blooms are exquisite. I have not ever seen crocuses in SA, but perhaps some people do grow them in the Western Cape.
Thank you, Carol. Originally from Asia Minor, they need a cold dormant period, so they might not grow in your climate.
