Snow Crocus Season Begins
(paghat) expounded:
The snow crocus season has begun. Though often listed as "early" spring
bloomers, many are actually late winter bloomers. The first one in full
flower began earlier this month, C. korolowii "Kiss of Spring." In past
years it bloomed in February, but it's an alpine crocus, & I think being
buried under snow for four days actually hurried it up. Also this week in
full fat bud are C. chrysanthus "Gypsy Girl" & C. ancyrensis "Golden
Bunch."
Oh, to even think of spring right now, with temperatures hovering at 0
and a snowstorm bearing down on us! But it is January in New England,
old man Winter has decided to sit right on our heads this season
