Isn't she lovely?? This was the first flower to open in our yard, and the girls were delighted to report this fact to me the moment I stepped outside to check on them. They also reported that the next-door neighbor had the VERY first flower; they have been surveying the street for several weeks for just such a newsworthy event.
What is so cool about crocuses is they are soooooo minute, hardly noticeable, and yet as they are the first thing to bloom here, they are GRAND!!! Their entrance on the "red carpet" gets my attention (and that of my daughters) every year. Just so happens this one pictured is one that I planted last fall, whereas the ones we had inherited upon moving in, found elsewhere in our front yard, seem to have disappeared. I am so proud of my little star!
from a distance--is it visible at all??:

very nice! i've been doing the same in my yard and "stalking" the flowers. he he he.....
we have purple crocuses that bloom first, and some white flowers i can't seem to remember the name of.
the next batch of my beloved lily of the valley.
i love how you showed the flower from farther away, then closer.
i am heading out to run errands now, but with my trusty digital camera, just incase some new blooms are out there.
p.s. i have a pic of you on my blog, circa 1986. i've been feeling nostalgic and posted some scans of old photos from high school. maybe it's my 20 year reunion looming in the not so far future. 20 years? yikes!
Hi, Jen...I will have to check on that picture, egads! :-o (I don't think I've ever used that word before--it was nice to find a use for such a theatrical word!)
I hope you are also posting pics of those lovely flowers.... ;)
