The crocuses have finally arrived.
Some one please remind me to plant more bulbs next fall. While they are fleeting and some times a challenge to incorporate into the landscape, they are a sight to behold this time of year, especially after our painfully long winter.
That is all.
Thy are all –Joy — to behold.
We just saw our very first bee of the season in a crocus bloom.
I know what you mean, I wish that I had planted about 10 times as many as I did!
Aren’t they awesome (if a tad bit late)? I finally spotted 2 snowdrop and 4 aconite blooms.
Order them now (Brent and Becky’s gives good bulbs).
Every year at this time I used to say the same thing but it’s hard to remember how much you need those first crocus blooms when it’s fall planting season. So I started ordering the bulbs in spring, when I really want them. Then I forget. Come fall I get a surprise box and the next spring? More bulbs.
Still not enough, though. I guess I better start working on next spring’s bulbs…
The bulbs are great, and I enjoy them, but the real givers for me beginning in winter are the Hellebores, then the Anemone nemorosas and Pulmonarias that are blooming now, just because years after planting they have multiplied themselves into many plants spread out in large beds, and the bulbs are just sitting there in their little rows.
