Another Crocus

I will endeavor to find something other then crocus to photograph tomorrow. It might not work, but I can always try. Maybe I should at least get out of the yard.

Pickwick

Pickwick Crocus

I promise this is the last crocus for a little while, at least until something else sprouts in the yard. I will move these bulbs this year. They have somehow survived the dogs for 4 years, but I'm going to not forget them and move them around in May. I want them behind the garden fence so I no longer have to obsess over photographing them before a dog squashes them. Pickwick Crocuses appear to be one of the few veined crocuses you can get as a bagged bulb at home improvement stores. I don't remember seeing type any other then pickwick around planting season.

More Crocus

Even with some snow yesterday the crocus are still trying to come up. There might be snow tomorrow and Thursday as well. I really miss those 2 gorgeous days from last week. I know if I dig around a bit I should be able to find the name of these crocus. Best guess is Crocus flavus Golden Yellow. I have them labeled as Golden yellow in my notes, but the flavus is the type that seems most likely on Google.

Spring Arriving

The fall before last I planted tons of bulbs, mostly mixed crocus, iris, muscari (which I won't plant again as it looks like limp grass most of the time), mixed daffodils and a few specific varieties of each. Last spring they bloomed fairly well, but I've been looking forward to this year, especially since I didn't have any extra money for bulbs last fall. So far yellow, purple and white crocus are up. I've got daffodils just starting to peek out and I had to clear the leaves off a few of the planting beds to find the bulbs. I'll have to dig through my photos of last year to make sure I know where everything is.
