This corner in Bossy’s neighborhood.
It gets full sun nearly all day, and therefore the plant life is usually a couple of weeks ahead of the rest of the neighborhood. In this case, the crocuses are already stretched in a carpet toward the intersection.
Go spring, go!

March 10, 2009 at 8:24 amSo jealous! There is NO sign of plant life here yet!

March 10, 2009 at 8:31 amLovely! We’re still rather brown and grey.
Mandy says
March 10, 2009 at 8:41 amThose are gorgeous. So nice to see some color springing up everywhere.
Ellie says
March 10, 2009 at 9:19 amThose are *my* first flowers of spring.
Debby says
March 10, 2009 at 9:22 amHoly crap, that is gorgeous!
Elizabeth says
March 10, 2009 at 9:38 amOh! As a former resident of Bossy’s lovely town who now lives in the arctic wilds of Massachusetts I am VERY VERY jealous of those flowers. Becuase I still have several inches of snow on my lawn!
Bridget says
March 10, 2009 at 9:52 amThis makes me so happy. I’m really rooting for spring. By which I mean, if we have one more day that dips below 45, I’m going to walk in front of a bus.

March 10, 2009 at 10:22 amCan I steal some of that green? Stupid March snows! Skiers may like it, but for the midget from Iowa living in Utah, frankly my dear, she doesn’t give a damn.

March 10, 2009 at 11:04 amToday is -25C (-13F) in Calgary. With snow. and cold. So part of me wants to say thank you for this hopeful sign of spring and part of me hates you and your hopeful sign of spring. (but mostly thank you. pretty!)

March 10, 2009 at 11:07 amI think they’re called snowdrops, and I used to have them in my yard, till we put down a whole new layer of dirt after having a patio built and now they’re not there anymore. Either that, or my dog defacating all over the place killed them. : (
Maren says
March 10, 2009 at 11:51 amI would sit on that sidewalk all day staring at those beautiful crocuses! Mine aren’t brave enough yet here in Wisconsin…one more week?

I have crocus that color in my backyard too!
Reeb says
March 10, 2009 at 1:15 pmThat’s beautiful! I’ve never seen a carpet of crocuses (croci?) like that before.
This morning: snow on the two mounds of yellow-gold crocus on my way to work. We never get this much snow.

March 10, 2009 at 6:02 pmI haven’t figured out how to grow bulbs in So. Cal yet – I think they might bloom as soon as you plant them. But don’t they have to be cold first? So it is warm here but no crocus. Or daffodils. The cherry trees are starting tho.

March 10, 2009 at 6:58 pmHuston we have a problem!!!
I am with #10…
I hate you but I love you….
Over a foot of snow again and

I either want another picture or
move to your house.
Ask me tomorrow when I get thru
-45 below wind chills in central
MN….

March 10, 2009 at 7:03 pmScilla are the first flowers to come up in my yard. They are wild, and blue and cover my lawn like your crocus’. I hate it when my husband puts down weedkiller because it kills the scilla too!!
My harbinger of spring…
Eloise says
March 10, 2009 at 7:20 pmI love crocuses. Lovely picture!
Lizzy says
March 10, 2009 at 7:52 pmMy four year old made me get down and smell flowers like this yesterday when we were on our walk. I’m there still, cursing my bad knees.
Peg says
March 10, 2009 at 8:20 pmCrocus are my fave. One Feb, I was in Paris and was so delighted to see crocus in the park. Bossy’s street looks like the Jardin de Ranelagh. You may now claim that name for your neighborhood.
