Our sign of spring in the Pacific North West!

The old Settlers cemetery a few miles down the road. Every spring the crocuses suddenly appear from nowhere! It was 25* overnight into yesterday when I took the pictures and 23* overnight into today but the flowers don't lie, it's almost spring!

 

It’s snowdrops that show first here

Man that is a lot of bulbs that got planted.

 

Connecticut’s first sign of spring and state flower is the pothole. Starting to bloom all over the place

 

Michigan must blow those seeds over to you......not like we need all of 'em. There's more than enough of those growing here. Always have been.

 

Those are a sight for sore eyes!

 

Crocus can naturalize like that from just a few planted cultivated bulbs in a garden nearby. We have the purple ones that come up all over here but none were planted in the lawn. Every now and then I'll see a yellow one but I've never noticed a white one.

 

Very pretty, we won't see anything like that here for a while. The ground is frozen solid, and deep. And then there is the snow on top of that. We usually see Daffodils in mid April, we didn't plant Crocus.

 

Will take a little more time here as this was about an hour ago.

 

you got that right

 

cant say that ive ever seen such a heavy concentration of them.

 

Got lots of them here too! The heavy freezes (for the PNW) we had earlier this winter have the asphalt overlays popping into potholes everywhere! Every contractor cheats on the liquid asphalt tack/seal layer! The spray truck goes nice and slow past the Inspector then speeds to 40mph as soon as he turns his back

 

First sign here is the minefield the dogs leave behind.

 

How'd you get a picture of my backyard Loon ? Looks just like that here. First flowers here are usually Snowdrop's on the south facing banks of the roads. Gonna be awhile yet I think.

 

Pretty sure its the Tulip sprouts out front that gets me every year.

 

4 of em here Buffalo.

 

Still can't see the ground here.

 

I thought I got a lot of crocuses every year in my strawberry beds, but that is insane!
A lot of the snow from my sidewalk and driveway ended up in the berry beds, so there's still a big white pile there. But a few crocuses have popped up where the snow has melted away.
