Spring hasn't really sprung here in northern Illinois, but this crocus opened up today and brought me the first sign of what's to come. This little sweetie is an escapee that came up in the grass outside the garden. I'm so glad it did. It's just what I need to fortify myself for the rain or snow that's predicted for this afternoon.
Gorgeous little flower, I can't wait to see some sign around here!
ReplyDeleteOh, lucky you! I've got the crocus greens, but no buds yet! It's already snowing here. Since we haven't had to deal with it much this winter the fluffy white stuff is still beautiful and hasn't lost any of its appeal. I keep looking up to admire it. :)
ReplyDeleteOurs are just appearing. We planted lots of new Spring bulbs last year but can't quite remember what and where!! So we're looking forward to seeing what comes up :) Maggie xx
ReplyDeleteI actually saw a first one too outside y apartament!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog! I am looking forward to springtime as well :) it just started raining in Northern California where I am, so it's looking like the sun won't be out for a while
ReplyDeleteNothing quite as cheering as a little, brave crocus pushing up through the brown grass. Thanks for sharing this photo!

What a beautiful flower. It must be wonderful to know that Spring has finally arrived. As for us down here in Sydney, we're all sad to now be in Autumn especially as our summer failed to arrive. Another day of rain here today. When will it stop!
ReplyDeleteI'm a fellow Illinoian. Best winter of record, but still ready for Spring. Thanks for the reminder that it's right around the corner. Liz
