    Lovely photos Toni. I just find it hard to imagine things blooming in February as we are in the depths of winter here in Ontario. Is this usual for you this time of year?

    Very pretty.... both of them. I like the color of the crocus. I just have the mostly white daffodils trying to make an appearance here and there.

    I love the Crocus, this is the first year I have had them. Those Daffs come back every year, which is remarkable since none of the other 5 dozen I have planted over the years made it to the second year.

    Netty, up until about 20 years ago February was always very cold and rainy/icy. But warm February temps are becoming the normal now. A few years ago Fall and Winter were so warm my Roses were blooming at the end of January.

    I keep checking every day. Won't be long and I will see some daffs and crocus in my yard.

    I'm going to go look and see if there's any thing showing in my gardens! We are having the warmest winter on record so some of my bulbs may be showing up soon. I did plant some of the small early flowering daffs. last year in hopes for some early color so I'll have to check if they are showing signs of life. Until then, I am enjoying seeing your spring flowers.

    SPRING!!!! How wonderful for you, great pictures... I dug most of my daffodils out last year because they were over taking my side flower bed and the stems last through the whole season and looked so messy. I will just sit back and enjoy yours.:whistling:
