1. I love the blanket of flowers, my dear Mira...

Hope indeed. Hope that the back of winter is broken and spring is indeed on its way...

Thank you!

2. Lovely ! Been trying to achieve something like that in my garden for years

Wonder what their secret is.

3. What are those things?

LOL.

Right now we're under several feet of snow, complete with a blizzard warning. This is now the snowiest February on record here.

5. They're Crocus. They are one of the first blooms in the spring, even sometimes popping up through

the snow.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. Yeah, I know. I have some. They're buried under three feet of snow.

But I won't see them for a couple more months - I was being snarky or something.

4. WOW! BEAUTIFUL!

Green from mine barely showing, may have drowned due to over-saturated yard.

8. They speak hope. On Mar 9th we in PA change the clocks. I hate to lose

an hour’s sleep but it will be nice to gain the sunshine for an extra hour. Thanks for posting.

9. Is that saffron?

It sure looks like it but it is coming up at the wrong time. Saffron usually blooms in the fall but with global warming it could be confusing the flowers.

But be ware, there is a crocus look alike to saffron that if eaten in quantities can be poisonous.

22. Those are crocus. nt

10. During the ice storm today,

I saw that the Sandhill Cranes are back.

Spring springs!

11. Crocus is my favourite early flower

More than snowdrops, more than daffs. Until the tulips start to bloom, these are IT.

12. Spring is coming.......

but not right now, we are hunkered down with a blizzard warning until 9:00pmCST. Our interstate hwy is closed....and lots a county roads are closed as well. They’ve taken the plows off the roads because they can’t see. So thanks Mira, there is hope for us too. Love the photos.

18. I want to live in that field of blooms.

[Callalily]

19. Oh, to see flowers and color again!
