A cheerful sight...

Crocus Biflorus spring beauty the first of my Crocus to bloom  . These are the first I've planted in the garden.  They are the most charming and dainty blooms , no wonder gardeners become obsessed with discovering and collecting. I feel obsessed already , I'll be mass planting these in the gravel this autumn . Even if  wind and rain comes along and knocks you flat ….

  1. So pretty! I have a couple of patches of Crocus blooming too, I just noticed them today when I went out to get groceries. They are flowering in the middle of a very messy bed that needs cutting back.
