The Last Crocus

It doesn't look like much yet, but the earth is bursting with fresh life. A rude round of snow and temperatures in the teens put a hurting on some things, but new life will not be denied.





















The last crocus blooms. Their time has passed.



























It is time for new things. One of two Mukdenia rossii 'Crimson Fans' fared better than the other. One was slightly nipped. This one was untouched.





















Sometimes you don't have to press your nose to the ground to see what is happening. New life can bust forth in bold vivid color.





















But I walk the garden now bent over, looking to see what is waking up. I am most happy when I see that things I planted last year are returning.
