Crocuses!

Out on a walk today, I noticed several patches of crocuses in full bloom.  I guess spring really is here...

YAY! I always take a picture of the first crocus I see each year, and got one this weekend of just a single bud. I can't wait to see them in full bloom.

They're my favorite flower/sign of spring. See icon. :)

First crocus of the season bloomed two weeks ago in my yard. He was a brave little guy, but he's now been joined by a hell of a lot of friends. Yay.

Two weeks ago! Dang. We still had snow completely covering our yard until the end of last weekend.

That flowerbed is in the south side of the house, the little guy is in a cushy spot. Also, these are species crocuses, the tiny ones, rather than the big mammoth crocuses you'll see later in the season. Those are still a ways away! :)

My large crocus come up before my species crocus, actually - but that's probably aided by being in a significantly warmer spot. Every year I think I am going to move some of the big ones (they're not very visible), and every year I forget.

Heh. I always have grandiose plans for what I'm going to move where, and then it almost never happens.

aw, now i'm sad i don't have a crocus icon to use!

this is my favorite part though. i can remember these little guys always struggling through first in my gramma's garden growing up.

Mine have broken ground but not bloomed yet. Looks like about a week or 10 days to go. Given that it's partially shaded, my yard is sort of in a different and more northernly state than the rest of Davis. :-)

Can we see your pic?

I pointed out snowdrops to audioboy a week ago. I was very pleased to see them.
