This is a spur-of-the-moment planting that happened late last fall in a newly dug out flower bed. The soil was so compressed and hard that I amending it as I planted these tiny bulbs. I remember it being quite an endeavor and I can still see a few clay lumps.100 bulbs planted.
My recollection is that normally the crocus bring their loveliness to the garden in February. With all of the cold snaps and snow storms, these little sprites decided to wait until now.
Rejoice! I went outside with my lunch to relish the warmth and this a little burst of spring.
