    Look what I've got! They're small this year, but I still find them lovely!

    The bigger ones are starting too, and it looks like we'll have daffodils for Easter. We nearly never have those at Easter time, except for when the Easter is very late.

    Thank you, Sherry, I'm over the moon today, and I'm afraid it shows very clearly in that crocus post. Imagine, spring in March, sunshine and even birds twittering in the trees. I've felt so miserable with all the wind and rain of late, but just one nice day, and I've forgotten all about it.

    Ahhhh Droopy it does your heart good to see so much colour in the garden again doesn't it? Small is beautiful and your crocus's are certainly lovely. :stew1:

    I certainly feel good today, Eileen. We're promised good weather for another two days. I'll probably be flying then. :D

    Thanks for the breath of spring air! I've given up on crocus here, due to all the chipmunks and squirrels in our area. I plant only daffodils (as they're poisonous and the critters leave them alone). I'm ready for the big meltdown here...all's still covered under a few feet of snow. My driveway and walkways are ice covered and treacherous. Keep sharing and send some our way!

    That is just beautiful Droopy. THat creamy ones reminds me of butter and the Ladykillers, blue pearls are stunning.
    I especially like the Ruby Giant. Brilliant.

    Thank you all. We've fenced in our garden. My mother's lost most of her crocus to the deer, and we don't want that. Hope your snow will melt soon, Kaseylib.

    Thanks, kuntrygal. We're having frost this evening, but it won't harm those earlies. They've got their own de-freeze.

    Every time I see photo's of Crocus blooming I tell myself I MUST plant some! Maybe this fall I will actually remember!

    Great Scott, Holy Moley, Yee-Gad, My goodness gracious, me...!!!!Kjempefine bilder!
    Look what you have there. Those are super, Droopy. You must be over the moon, through your roof, well-chuffed, pleased as punch, tickled pink...
    Those are marvelous to see. That sun strikes them well and they have very nice colours.
    If I may be permitted to choose a fav...it's have to be the first ones--the soft yellows. I like certain types of yellow, and that is one of them.
    Thanks for showing the beautiful flowers.

    Droopy, those are all lovely. I have some out back but never remember to go look for them until after they have bloomed. :rolleyes:


    Goodness gracious sakes alive, it seems someone has been cooped up in the house a little too long ;)
