The Crocus Show





The crocuses are just finishing up and although the weather was less than kind to them, as it seems to be every year, they still put on a lovely show.  Crocuses are one of my favorite bulbs sine they're so carefree and their blooms signal that although spring may not really be here, it's not that far away, 




I love how the purple snow crocus in the back often look fake in pictures, they're just so vibrant. 



See? 

Sunny golden crocuses in another bed. 


At the very end, still pretty although drooping over.

  1. So beautiful and sunny, as you say. I have so few, as the rabbits eat them right down in spring. then the squirrels seem to dig up the bulb. But, some years there is success. You have quite a show!!

  2. Oh no! Luckily I have no problems with rabbits around here, may have something to do with the dog and two cats, although I did have squirrels dig up and take over 25 snowdrops the year before last. What a disappointment.
