Crocus

Several years ago I bought about 15 crocus bulbs.  I always enjoy seeing them in the spring and now they have multiplied to many more than 15.  I tucked them into the ground here and there, some right in the lawn, some near some flower beds.  Linda gave me more bulbs a year ago and I planted them along the front walk.

They were starting to bloom by the time we returned from our week away.  Yesterday my  back door neighbor and I looked at them together and I commented on how beautiful they are this year.  I have purple and white, the giant kind.  This year they are gorgeous.  It's cool again this morning and I think that's best for them.  I think it will keep them in bloom longer.  I think this fall I'd like to buy more crocus bulbs and plant them at the edge of the maple tree where I can see them from my computer each morning as I look out the window.

I love spring mornings!

    "There'll be crocuses to bring to school tomorrow..." from Joni Mitchell's GREEN, came to mind when I read this blog.

    I'm not familiar with that at all. Please tell me more.

    Joni Mitchell, the 60's folk artist, wrote the song "Green" and it can be found on her "Blue" album. (No, not all of her songs refer to colors... that was just a coincidence.) The whole album is pretty good. I like to harmonize with her on almost every song. =)

    "Born with the moon in cancer, give her a name she will answer to... call her Green and the winters cannot fade her" "Just a little green, like the color when the spring is born, there'll be crocuses to bring to school tomorrow" "... birthday clothes and sometimes there'll be sorrow." Those are just some of the lyrics I can remember. She is very poetic.

    That is very poetic. It's new to me.
