Man! What a Difference!

Photo taken 3/7/2011

Remember the field of crocus from 3/3/10 I posted a few days ago on the 3rd? (No? Well, go look already!) I was lamenting the fact that though the crocus were up on the 3rd of last year, this year, not so much. Well! All it takes is one sunny, semi-warm day to rectify that! As I drove home from work yesterday, I looked at the field, and the crocus were finally up! Though they aren't nearly as far along as usual, with a little searching I was able to find that beauty you see above. It is one of the only purple blooms this year - most of the crocus are more white than purple and the only ones that are really beginning to bloom are growing right along the sun-warmed rock wall.

Come on color!

Since this year's crocus aren't much to look at,
I thought I'd leave you with these last two photos.
Such beauty there was exactly a year ago yesterday!

Her love for crocus
Surely was bordering on
The ridiculous

  1. Beautiful... the one now, and all the ones from last year. What a lovely vista that must be when they are all in bloom.

  3. Oh, I love crocuses! I cannot believe you have them already! I wrote a poem about them also but do not have a photo to go with it! It will post on my Kathie's Poet Tree blog on March 20th. I cannot believe you have so many! Just gorgeous! I have crocus envy! Love your Haiku!
