Crocuses have popped their pretty heads out here in Northern
California as well! I looked out my window yesterday to see a
sprinkling of purple adorning the brown and gray landscape. Upon
closer examination, I found about two dozen crocuses, accompanied by
just as many Japanese Iris, both of which I had given up for gone
after a marauding squirrel dug up my garden last fall. Also, my
Hardenbergia is in full bloom, and looks stunning! Spring is just
around the corner!
