Aren't crocuses great? A lone white crocus that came with the house shows up every year. Although I prefer purple flowers to white, I'm enamored with it, especially on sunless gray days. Large white crocus are now on my wish list for fall. Isn't the garden's awakening thrilling!?chavlinesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10907844942343152129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725795560485860373.post-87487649803766353082017-03-10T10:35:52.968-08:002017-03-10T10:35:52.968-08:00The early spring blooms don't seem to mind at ...The early spring blooms don't seem to mind at all.

I don't know if there are any that need less chill. I'm sorry you're getting 80's already. We can't have that here, yet, but I still wouldn't want it. I'm happiest with temperatures in the 60's and low to mid 70's.Evan Beanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06732413653862912387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725795560485860373.post-72550500294444774422017-03-10T10:31:16.145-08:002017-03-10T10:31:16.145-08:00It's a big (for a crocus) dramatic one, for su...It's a big (for a crocus) dramatic one, for sure.Evan Beanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06732413653862912387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725795560485860373.post-48797041016987150312017-03-09T17:23:10.688-08:002017-03-09T17:23:10.688-08:00Thank goodness that some plants don't seem to ...Thank goodness that some plants don't seem to mind this cold wet weather.

Our rain has stopped (last weekend's storm just spit at us as it blew past) and our temps are now above 80F so I'm declaring winter officially over here. Because we always want what we can't have, I'd have like a bit more rain and cooler temps to make spreading 3 cubic yards of mulch more pleasant.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725795560485860373.post-29105787786362294352017-03-09T09:00:24.668-08:002017-03-09T09:00:24.668-08:00Hmmm...I am determined to plant some crocus this f...Hmmm...I am determined to plant some crocus this fall and this looks like a good one.danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.com
