The crocus is still the most prolific flower in our Northern climate. The beds are coming alive with color. You can click to get a better look.
They grow almost anywhere even around the base of a tree. You can see the tulips and daffodils starting to show their leaves.
I'm happy to feature my daughters brown orchid. This is a prolific bloomer with multiple flowers. The second stem is getting ready to blossom.
You can see how many blooms are showing their stuff.
It is certainly an unusual color and so pretty up close.
You can see beautiful flowers at the site above.

The crocuses in our area have already come and gone. Daffodils on every block now. Looking forward to the tulip season.
I've never seen a brown orchid, either.
Beautiful blooms! Happy TF:)

Such lovely drifts of Cocus with Tulips promising later colour.
Tom, your daughter's Orchid is flowering so well. With our recent shocking summer I only have one bud.
Beautiful shots!
Well crocuses are such little stars bursting out with splashes of colour in an otherwise quite dreary spring landscape.
That orchid is simply amazing. The close up really shows the strange beauty of those blooms.
Nice shots. I posted orchids this week. Aren't you glad Spring is here? :-)
What an unusual orchid....very pretty color against that wall and light. Love the crocus.....ours are about done.
Crocus is famous and expensive here.This plant is grown in a certain area in Greece and is used in cookery.
Crocus are a big hit at the moment with all the cold climate gardens getting ready for spring. But they are so pretty it is a pleasure. This is certaily an unusual colour of the orchid. It makes it very special.
Hi Fishing Guy :) Looks like you're getting a good dose of spring!

Your crocus are spreading quite nicely -- what a beautiful way to welcome Spring. Your daughter's orchid is absolutely gorgeous.
I love the crocuses - I think yours are further along than mine! Not hard, I know. I love the way you have clusters of them, and can stand away to take the photos! I just replanted all my bulbs after digging over the garden, so have only singles.
I love the mallards and teal in the next post, too!
I never knew there were brown orchids! It is so unusual. I would love to photos of the crocuses and tulips and daffodils when they are in full bloom. I love bulb plants. (My favorites are irises and daffodils!)
The crocuses are so welcome this time of year. The brown orchid is stunning!
Fg, You are so right, what an unusual color. I have never seen a brownish colored orchid before..but I like it!
Love the signs of springs popping thru and coloring your gardens and yard!!
We were enjoying your ohio weather for a few days ...but now snow is on the way *&@#$!! ...got to get back home! :)

Beautiful flowers, I really thought the crocuses grow tall. I love the orchid blooms.
The orchids are beautiful, as are the humble hard working crocus.

Fishing Guy the brown orchids..unique and stunning!!Makes me think of chocolate!!
It's a gorgeous orchid! There's all kind of colored orchid here, too many hybrid.
The timid crocus is one of the foremost messenger of spring. I love them when they make a "carpet".
The orchid is amazing!
