Yeah, I know this blog is supposed to be All About Daffodils but my daffodils have made no progress toward blooming and it doesn't look like many of my established plantings will bloom at all this year. These charming little crocuses are what greeted me today when I went out for a walk in my garden.
This has been the coldest winter in years for most of the USA and it has at times seemed like it would never end. I know some of you are being affected by the massive ice storms to the North and my thoughts and prayers are with you. I hope your lives will get back to normal as soon as possible.
My garden has had some tough times in the last couple of years but this little crocus patch comes up faithfully every February. My grandmother died yesterday so needless to say, I wasn't having a very good day. It was warm and sunny so I went out looking for some photo subjects and I found these crocuses waiting for me. I planted those crocus corms in about 1997 and I've pretty much forgotten about them and taken them for granted but they have never failed to bloom so I thought I would introduce you to them today.
No matter how cold, gray and desolate winter is always followed by the beautiful new beginning that we call spring. I would like to thank those little crocuses for reminding me of that when I needed it most.

These are so dainty and pretty - like a ray of sunshine leading us into spring.
My deepest sympathies on the loss of your grandmother.
Have a beautiful day!
My condolences on the loss of your grandmother. I'm glad that the crocuses were there to comfort you.
My condolences on the loss of your grandmother. Good timing for Mother Nature to offer you some crocuses which, however much we love narcissus, are the most life affirming of flowers.
