Wow Tt these are gorgeous. I love yellow crocus but the birds tear them to shreds. I have a pot which are just coming up I may have to use a cover of some sort to be able to enjoy them for more than a day.

Stunning, Terra!

Good angle!;-)
That´s a beautiful corner! I seeded Crocuses and blue Irises as well last year. But not in pots, to the soil. Today the heavy snow is falling again. I think, I will bring photos like these when you already have blooming lilacs -----

Yes, this year it seems, in many countries, flowers will be in bloom later than usual !
