I love crocuses. They are such lovely little flowers. After you plant the bulbs in fall, you don't ever have to worry about them again. Every year they multiply and bloom in bigger clumps. They're so endearing because they're the first flower to bloom in spring.
Usually they will bloom in late February, but this winter was harsher than most, so they didn't come up until now.
They orange crocuses are especially fun; their color is so vibrant contrasted against the plain brown earth and the tawny dead leaves and foliage. They also have this great dark green pine needle-like leaves.
This early-rising honeybee is happy to have some nectar to sip and some pollen to collect.
Here's a purple
Iris reticulata that's already in bloom. The rest of them will come up in full force later this month. Spring is on it's way!

Trisha here (I really ought to just sign in myself instead of using Jessica's account but I'm just feeling too lazy most of the time). We haven't seen any spring flowers in our yard yet but the tulip and daffodil leaves are showing.
