Ma Bell’s crocus

See? Do not doubt the orange daylilies when they say it’s time to roll.

Every year, this lavender crocus blooms smack-dab in the busiest spot in our yard, where once there was a flowerbed before the remodel bulldozers. And, really, after surviving heavy equipment, what threat are a few clumsy human and dog feet?

Ma Bell waits with anticipation every year for me to send a photo of this little crocus to reassure her that spring is coming. I thought maybe the rest of you could use a little reassurance, too.

  4. Amazing things crocus. I love seeing them come up through the lawns around old houses. I have some the same color coming up through the lawn now.

  5. I don’t have them in my garden. I used to have them when we lived in Kansas City. They never failed, such little tough guys. I hope you feel better now. It was nice to see that NWFGS is alive. Do you remember, last year everyone was talking about its fate?
