Spring Crocus

Spring is late this year up here in the north but it is slowly getting warmer.

The lake by the summer cottage finally lost its ice cover yesterday. It was fun to watch the ice slowly drift away and clear water to emerge.

Not many flowers bloom yet and not much to see but the Crocuses (Crocus vernus) are starting their show.

I do not have many of them simply because their season is usually very short and I prefer longer blooming spring flowers. They sure are beautiful though.

Spring Crocus

Crocuses (Crocus vernus) are at their best. Only have few colors in the garden.

I would love to have more of them but the flowering season is very short and usually I manage to miss it and fail see them blooming.

Therefore I prefer daffodils. They bloom longer and are more tolerant to the climate.
