| The bees are out drinking it up in the spring sunshine. |
This is undoubtedly my favorite early spring crocus, as every year it spreads its cheery purple all around both of my gardens, here at Havenwood and Gilmore as well. I cannot get enough color at this time of year. Inevitably, I think, "Why did I not plant a few hundred more?"

| Crocus tommasinianus spread as a carpet through the garden and lawn at Gilmore Gardens. |

| A few honey scented crocus and snowdrops that we brought inside to enjoy when the snow came again. |
 |
| After the snow melted, the sun called them to open up again and let the bees enjoy their nectar. |
If you are not enjoy these beauties in your lawn or garden this month, then put them on the list for your fall bulb order! Or better yet, find a gardening friend who has some and beg a few to get your carpet started. :)
Sending spring-thoughts your way,

Love little "Tommies", ours are unfortunately almost over now, but I must plant lots more in the autumn, I would love them in the lawn at the back.
ReplyDeleteThey would fit in so well with all of your other multiplied treasures, Pauline!

I loved to have these little beauties in the lawn, but the last years they are decreasing, are the rabbits guilty? I don't know.
ReplyDeleteNow and then I will notice that some are nibbled by either the rabbits or squirrels... not sure which. But they are evidently not very tasty as they always give up. :)
