March ninth was the first day this year we played Scrabble in our yard. We were in the middle of a heat wave for this time of the year. I counted seventeen wide open purple crocuses and today one yellow primrose opened with more on the way. I know the temperature will get colder and more seasonal but I am enjoying this burst of spring.

I was excited because I saw four or five singles crocuses inches from the clump I planted last year.  I was told they would spread.  I noticed the flowers were a little deeper purple than they were in the bed I planted.  I just wondered how the new crocuses spread.  Was it from seeds or do the roots spread.  This discovery I only noticed today.  The bed of crocuses have been blooming over a week.  It is exciting to see what discovery I will make next in our garden.
