Finally...

I've been waiting for these crocus to blossom...they usually bloom early because they are close to the house foundation and stay warm and protected...






It has been suggested that I move these to a place where we could see them better but I prefer having them hidden...hidden beauty that you have to search for...if you forget to look for them they will quietly pass by unobserved...until the next year...

Delwyn - Thank-you...I have a point and shoot camera so I don't always get it focused as crisply as I would like...

Ruth - That crocus is a little out of focus I thought...but so is my vision!

ELK - Exactly so!

Char - I don't even remember planting these but love the purple stripes too...

Violet - Like I said..Finally!
