Crocuses galore!

They are so cheerful aren't they. A lovely sight from your flat and also for passers by :)

What a grand show Balcony.....love them.

A wonderful show Balcony. What a pleasure!

Thank you all for your comments! ? This is a scene that repeats itself year after year! At least the pansies seem to have survived this year, after many years when they died off for one reason or another & not realizing their potential in April - May.

I'm doubly pleased because not only have the survived & are now flowering but also because they are Ruffled Pansies & I have never grown anything like them before! ???

The Crocuses especially give great joy at the end of winter telling us the spring is about to spring! ???

They are such cheering little things aren't they. I love those delicate lilac ones 6 from the bottom. Mine didn't survive the Beast very well sad to say - never known them suffer like that before.

It must look grand when passing by your flat, always a delight to see Balcony....

So pretty and the way they bounce back after the snow is amazing

You put a lot of hard work into your pots David but what a beautiful reward ,they make you smile :o)

Does my heart good to see all those crocuses. So many colours. Ours all seem to be mauve!

A sure sign of Spring!

Thank you all once again for your comments! ?

Sorry to hear that yours didn't survive the "Beast from the East"! ? Mine are pretty exposed but perhaps they were behind in comparison with yours Perhaps your weather was worse than what we had. But whatever the reason I hope they do much better for you next year!

I was a little worried I wasn't going to get any blue ones this year as the yellows, creams & even whites seemed to be all I was going to get! At last lots of them opened & I was so pleased to see them! In a dark blue ceramic pot I have lots of Hyacinths I also put some Crocuses in it - by sheer coincidence they have all turned out to be blue! As I only ever plant mixed colours I can never tell what colour they will turn out to be until the day the flowers open!

Crocuses are such wonderful little plants, Dawn, & bring such a welcome note of colour after months of dismal weather & dark days & such long nights!

Lincs, I'll upload a picture of our balcony as seen from the street so you can appreciate it better.

Thank you, Amy, but the credit belongs to the Crocuses - not to me!? I don't do anything more than put them in the pots & let them get on with it! ?

Strange the way some plants behave, Eirlys, my blue ones started to flower later than the other colours & I thought I wasn't going to get any!

All the photos in my blog above have open flowers but today I took lots of photos of them closed up & with rain drops on them! A first for me!

Getting towards the end of March and I have not seen one yet. At least I can look at yours...thank you!

You're more than welcome, Loosestrife, ?? If you look at my Photos page you will find more & I'll soon be adding more! ?
