This is a perfect example of what a healthy #crocus flower should look like, growing in the front yard of a person's lovely yard near the sidewalk. There were many such lovely examples on my lunch time break today on a bittersweet day. The wind was still chill from the morning freeze, yet the sunglow was warming the surfaces of anything it touched. On this particular street, everything was perfectly prepared to awaken into full color for Spring. Almost every house on this street was owned by members of the Jones family, if you know what I mean.
All of these are original photos taken from my smartphone. A few photos were adjusted slightly to heighten their colors.
Pastel #blossoms peeking out from the grass.
Delicate tissue soft white and violet crocus.
#Rosemary is an herb that grows on a bush. Here it is in full bloom.
These blooms are so big and healthy, they are climbing up through this ground cover.
Witch Hazel is recognizable by the tassel shaped flowers. These are a rich red leather burgundy color, but I have also seen another variety with orange flowers. This small tree can be used for making medicine that is very astringent, and helps to cleanse and smooth skin. The lovely leaves are also known for having a variety of different colors in the fall. This tree is on my wish list to grow some day, but they are kind of spendy.
Correct me if I am wrong, but I think this is a decorative dogwood tree. They are generally a small tree, and have wonderful scented flowers. This variety has gently wavy lateral branches that make it very appealing. Flowers are growing underneath.
White and yellow centers looks almost like scrambled eggs. These crocus flowers are nestled in comfortably under the warmth of a large decorative boulder.
Yes, they even come in butter yellow. Who knew there were so many different varieties of this flower?
Berries growing on the bush for the birds to eat.
I really wish I could grow even one of these lovely patches of flowers in my yard this spring. It just wasn't meant to be. Slugs have to be fed after all.
Here are the remains of the crocus flowers I planted in my yard recently...
Going... going... going...
Gone!
That's okay, though.
I'm much better at playing revenge when I want to get down to business...
Only the best for the slugs in my yard.
The breakfast of champions!
