Crocuses
March 11, 2008 | 26 Comments
Around the soft, green swelling mound
We scooped the earth away,
And buried deep the crocus-bulbs
Against a coming day.
“These roots are dry, and brown, and sere;
Why plant them here?” he said,
“To leave them, all the winter long,
So desolate and dead.”
“Dear child, within each sere dead form
There sleeps a living flower,
And angel-like it shall arise
In spring’s returning hour.”
- The Crocus by Harriet Beecher Stowe

Nice to see lovely color – our garden is also just starting to sprout with a bit of color. The days are longer and warmer – oh the joys of spring!
Let me quote William Wordsworth and change daffodils to crocuses, TO CAPTURE THE SAME ESSENCE.
I WANDER’D lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o’er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Very lovely, indeed !!

I love gardening and my husband laughs at me when I talk to my flowers:) Right now, the only plant not blooming in my garden is the rose, and I’m trying to plead to it so it would bloom!!:)
great pics:)
Those crocuses look like big successes!
Crocusses are simply beautiful, their bright colours show the beggining of spring! I have some in my garden too! Do you know that the saffron comes from its stamens?
Lovely pictures!!!
