Thanks Johnboy and Scotkat ...
This is my favourite crocus variety ..

I just pick up the camera and point ...LOL..

25 Feb, 2012

 

Sometimes the best way TT :))))

25 Feb, 2012

 

Lol. Pixi... the only way I know... :o)

25 Feb, 2012

 

me too lol ;~

25 Feb, 2012

 

lovely. and I jus realised I don't have a single crocus in my garden:(

26 Feb, 2012

 

Hi Kasy.. thanks.
Next year, I bet you'll have crocus bulbs everywhere !

26 Feb, 2012

 

Do you think I'll win a lottery Terra and will buy myself lovely place? lol. Maybe I should start playing then, lol

26 Feb, 2012

 

Or maybe treat yourself to some Premium Bonds ?

26 Feb, 2012

 

lol they did a survey, TT, and the odds on winning big on Premium Bonds are about a hundred times higher than winning the lottery, and they're high enough!

you only need to buy one ticket, Kasy, but of course it has to have all the right numbers on it.

26 Feb, 2012

 

That's the only problem - the right numbers.... hmm... lol

27 Feb, 2012

 

Beautiful springy bright sunny colours ...
