    Seeing a garden come back to life in the spring is rejuvenation for ones spirit and a magnet for activity. Crocus are my favorite town criers of the garden.

    Here ye!! Here Ye!! Spring time has arrived in Scotland. Here Ye!! Here Ye!!

    There's nothing like "the garden is starting to look more cheerful" to put a smile on a gardener's face. You must be so happy with your lovely spring blooms!

    Just what I needed today! Thanks for sharing your pics, Eileen.

    Some of my favorite flowers are bulbs. Love the deep-purple crocus! :)

    What a sight for sore eyes! I'm happy for you. Enjoy them a bit for me too. :D You're way ahead of me. I saw snowdrop sprouts the other day. They're about a cm out of the ground, so no blooms for me for some time yet.
