The crocus heard me complain / myLot

Two days ago I was whining because there were no crocus blooming in the year. Today, that changed as the first one showed itself. (The second one did as well, but the bloom hasn't opened yet) But I have this nice yellow one trying to brighten up the yard. Sometimes it's the small things in life...

This is beautiful. I have two more blooming and they are also purple. This is the nature revenge as I said I do not like purple color.

What a lovely spot of color! Surely the grass will green up soon.

I love flowers even though I have no idea what their varieties or names are. I just appreciate them. Seeing flowers always gives me joy.

@JolietJake I'd love to see all those lovely colours together. If you put them in a vase would they last long?

@toniganzon The stems are only an inch or two long, you can't really put them in a vase

Nice shot. If only I had a couple green thumbs.

Indeed it is the small things in life. I love a bright clear yellow like this. It always makes me feel cheerful.

When I lived in Hamilton, there was a yard across the street that always had the earliest snowdrops and crocuses. I wonder if they're out or still hiding under snow. I saw some stuff peeping up during the last thaw, but I didn't check today. Not sure if I have any here.

Makes me almost want to get outside and see if I see any. Almost.

I love to see crocus poking thru the ground, so pretty and yet so hardy to survive with a bloom like they do in our cold weather. That's a great shot.
