Crocus 'snow bunting' was one a selection of white bulbs I received from the International Flower Bulb Center, my prize for the Abundant harvest photo I entered in the Gardening Gone Wild competition, Picture this Photo. Be sure to check out the subject for this month's competition.I always had crocus in the garden when I lived in the north but I wasn't sure how crocus would perform in my central Texas garden. The unusually cold winter may be just what they were looking for. It was a bright spot in a morning of grunt work.
Beautiful! I love the shallow depth of field, and I especially love the bluebonnet florets in the background, as though they were part of the crocus.
ReplyDeleteThis is the first crocus of the year that Ihave seen. What a beauty.
ReplyDeleteHow pretty! I didn't know you could grow crocus in Texas, but you are right, it must have been your colder than normal winter.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice treat.
ReplyDeleteMy daffodils, planted the end of 2008, are up. I thought they'd be gone, from the drought. There are no buds, though. Maybe I should have fed them. I'll do better this year.
Thanks for sharing your treat with us.
Your crocus is a foreign creature to this Texan. It's simply LOVELY! I'm headed out to weed the veggie gardens now...
ReplyDeleteI didn't know we could grow crocuses in Texas! It's beautiful :-)
ReplyDeleteSo sweet!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful little spring surprise for you. And I see the bluebonnet that will come soon after the crocus is gone! Love those bulbs.
