One of the things I love during this time of year is the occasion to watch perennial wildflowers emerge in their typical order throughout the spring and summer. And the first ones are always the crocuses.
“Welcome to spring!” I think. “We’re here!”
Right now, I have little bouquets of crocuses sprouting in my yard (pictured above). They’re gorgeous, and they give me delight. We’re really here!
