Spring’s trying to be sprung

This is the first flower bloom of the season at my home, a crocus. These plants are often the earliest to bloom; they’re known to even flower while there’s still snow on the ground. I’m glad I planted these years ago because living in the frozen north-lands I need flowers as soon as I can get them. Unfortunately, weather forecasts are predicting a return to temperatures around freezing, so this may be the last garden bloom I see for a while. I’m thankful, though, that it’s the first bloom. Maybe I’ll write a poem about it.

Once the real spring weather finally stays, I’ll be posting more flowering from my garden on this blog.
