| Crocus tommasinianus at Gilmore Gardens April 1st |
We are just now enjoying our crocuses and snowdrops during a few days of warm sun. I hope that those of you in more northern places in North America will feel encouraged to know that your flowers are coming soon as well!

| I am always amazed at how these little Crocus "tommies" have filled in the lawn at Gilmore. |

| Welcome at last to spring! |
All of those tommies are so beautiful and shimmery!
ReplyDeleteThey do shimmer in the sunshine! Thanks for your comment!

Just gorgeous Julie. I have the same blooms finally showing up although my Tommies are just in their second year and many it appears were dug up by the voles.
ReplyDeleteGlad some of yours are up too, Donna!

I love your lawn teeming with Tommies. Better luck with them with squirrels. The white ones have made many a squirrel at and happy.
ReplyDeleteYour tommies are absolutely beautiful in the sunshine, I'm glad all your snow has now gone and that you are enjoying spring at last!
ReplyDeleteThanks Pauline! We are so glad too! :)

I love those tommies in the lawn! How awesome is that. Some of my crocus are blooming, some are not. It's a slow spring.
ReplyDeleteI'm so pleased for you that spring has come at last. The crocus tommies are delightful, I must get some this year for the new spring walk.
ReplyDeleteWaw ... the first photo is really wonderful !!!!! ♥ Kiss Julie
ReplyDeleteThanks Virginie!

ReplyDeleteWe were fortunate to have inherited these pretties in the lawn. I am going to set out to make a large patch like this at our new garden this fall.

How beautiful. I planted a whole bunch of hellebore seedlings and one mature one last fall and am so disappointed..I only have two seedlings that survived our winter here in Chicago. It was bad this past winter. At least I have the two..looking forward to their future blooms!
