Please ID These Crocus-like Flowers
Hi everyone: I live in Southern Ontario, Canada. In the summer of 2004
I had a new sidewalk put in front of the house - it faces south. In the fall of 2004 I planted crocus bulbs along the edge of the sidewalk, alternating bewteen yellow and blue. http://home.ca.inter.net/~deniswb/sidewalk1.jpg They're now blooming for the 2nd season, and after a long winter, it sure is nice to see them. A pity they don't last long. http://home.ca.inter.net/~deniswb/planted_crocuses.jpg However, right in the middle of the lawn little flowers have spontaneously sprung up that look like the blue crocuses I planted but they're slightly different. http://home.ca.inter.net/~deniswb/un...ed_flowers.jpg Can someone please help me to ID these "unsolicited" flowers, and suggest how they might have gotten there? I intend to be careful when mowing. Many thanks in advance. Denny |

They look like some I planted last fall that have bloomed for the first time this spring. Maybe the squirrels planted them for you. Jacqui |

They are crocus. Both yellow and blue varieites.
As for how they got spread...Crocus will disperse via seed like most other bulb plants. Daniel B. Wheeler www.oregonwhitetruffles.com |
