Today's Flowers # 69

My friend Luiz from Brazil does the Today's Flowers Meme, check it out. Come and join with your flower photos. Sunday at 2 GMT is the post time

I await the season change when everything is again abloom. The Spring flower that comes out first is the Crocus shown here in purple.

It also comes in a neat yellow color.


It also comes in a white phase. It is so nice to see it force its way up through the ground.


You can see a lot of great flowers at the above site.

    Harbingers of spring and my first favorites of the season!
    These are lovely. Wish I could see some popping up through the snow on my ground. :)

    I'm afraid you're likely to see the ground covered with that cold white stuff before you see these beauties blooming again!
