Ted, I don't remember the name of that crocus, but I listed all the varieties here. I hope by perusing the fall bulb catalogs you can attach a name to the one you fancy.

Your Crocus bank is a stunner! I’m so glad Spring has finally made it to your garden. I agree with the other commenters that your daughter has real talent!

OOPS! Happy Birthday Kathy! I’ve been busy with Hospice and getting ready to fly out and drive back from college with Son #2. Things ARE starting to bloom in your neck of the woods!

Yay, Kathy gets to share too! I must echo many of the other comments: Cadence’s photos are truly amazing. And so are yours, of course: such a beautiful sweep of crocus, and what gorgeous corydalis. I hope your other corydalis are ok as well.

Lovely presents for your 50th birthday, I’d say. The crocus are looking spectacular – I had a moment of nostalgia remembering the crocus banks in Ottawa. I have yet to see any here this year.

You are so right about the little details which can go unnoticed. Cadence has an eye all right! Even the cold climates are warming up aren’t they.

We have reason to celebrate this month’s GBBD Kathy! Finally…an assortment of outdoor blooms! I love you crocus bank. How lovely! The cornus mas is beautiful, and how lucky you are to have that pretty corydalis. My daffs are just beginning to open too.
Your daughter’s photo of the scilla is amazing.
Makes me want to go out with my camera and try that. Beautiful detail!
Looks like I’ll have to plant a new hellebore. Mine looks like it didn’t make it, but I haven’t quite given up hope yet.
