The purples have already popped up in our #CrocusLawn, far ahead of last year. This is the magic time where both yellow and purple overlap. Yellows are first and purples come about halfway through yellow bloom.

Seems a fair amount of blooms didn’t make it with last Friday’s snow, though. More energy for next year!

Last autumn we planted ~500 crocus bulbs in our lawn. They aren’t native, but they are early to rise. And as such are sure to bring us, and the #pollinators great joy as winter fades.

Finally we’re seeing some signs of life. C’mon #Spring! 😍
