newbuzz...I have one small clump of yellow crocus' blooming in my garden. I usually have yellow, white, and purple crocus' along with a mini field of blue scilla blooming on Easter Sunday. Many years the flowers have bloomed right through the snow cover. Not this year. It is like all the vegetation went on strike and only the yellow crocus' dared to cross the picket line. I wonder what it is they are waiting for. There was plenty of snow cover this winter to protect the bulbs. The top layer of frost is gone. We have had sun and precipitation. Easter is late this year, but still no blooms except for my faithful yellow crocus'. Not a hint of a hosta or the tip of a tulip can be seen. But the yellow crocus' give me hope. I think Mother Nature is playing a little trick on me. Easter morning will find me looking for hidden flowers instead of colored eggs.
