ALMOST SPRINGTIME :o)))

Gorgeous Terra!!! I have added to favs- it makes me feel happy

Thanks Paul ...
Those little flowers made me feel happy too :o)))

we have snow cover at moment - and grey skies :(

Lots of colour there , Terra . Very pretty .

Lovely to see TT :o)) , yours are much further ahead than ours !

Thanks Driad and Amy ... :o)))
... Paul ... I hope your snow melts soon ...

what a lovely sight Terra, makes me feel better seeing crocus :o))) x

your garden is so much further on than mine. these are lovely. I just have a bit of foliage up above ground.

As others have said these Crocuses make you feel happy! I wouldn't be without them on my balcony! I have been growing them every year I think since we've lived here - now 12 years!
.
Like you, TT, I grow them in pots as well. Mine are in aluminium hoops on the balcony railings. I have one Crocus flower at present but very shortly there will be LOTS more! LOL! :-))

Lovely crocus signs of spring and your super garden as a backdrop what a cheerer upper TT :o) There is a 2" snow blanket here hiding my snowdrops and maybe even a crocus or two!!

Made me feel happy too! I've been a bit off colour today Terra, and it's sooooo cold here and as grey as an old man's vest! Your photo has just cheered me up, thanks! X

Btw, my cream crocus are also showing their colour like this, but somehow yours look prettier!

Thanks Sandra, Seaburn, Balcony, Neena and Karen ...

I'm glad the crocus flowers have cheered you ... I hadn't realised they were ahead of other gardens.... they've been in that pot since last year and today I noticed they'd decided to flower :o)

Karen ...There are various virus bugs going around ... I'm feeling better after being poorly earlier this week... keep warm and snug ! x

Thanks terra! X

Well I love your pretty Crocus....mine are still hidden. We are expecting our first snow tomorrow....my poor plants will remain hidden I think. Sorry to hear you are unwell Karen. Keep warm and soon we will be able to enjoy the spring weather.

Hi Linda ...
Milder weather in England by Thursday.
I hope it will be mild for you in Scotland too...

That's lovely TT.... In fact the whole garden looks lovely. Roll on March :)

:-))))))))))))) so beautiful Terra:-)))

Your garden is pretty all year round TT :o)

Thanks Angie, Junna and Hywel ...
This winter my garden evergreens have been full of interest ... I'm glad I planted them all. :o)

Lovely Crocus TT. I was leaving an antique fair at a sports centre at Brentwood, over a week ago, I was amazed to see hundreds of daffodils in full bloom, sheltered by a hedge, and lining the verge. They lifted my spirits. Compliments to Brentwood council parks department.

Hi Dorjac ..
It's great to see the spring bulbs appearing :o)

Hi Terra, I have ONE daff and 5 snowdrops in my little garden thats all, very sad. the green leaves are there but as yet not flowers, never mind as bjs said to me "ye of little faith" i am even talking to them in desparation :0)

Hi Sue .. trying singing ;o)

That looks lovely, you are well ahead of me. My garden was still covered in snow when I left this morning :o))

Recently there was a lot of snow here, but I don't think the crocus noticed ... decided it's time to flower :o)))

I think a lot of the problem is my back garden is in full shade until March so the snow just hangs about. The poor little Crocus are all undercover :o))

What a lovely sight Terra. We're all willing spring to come fast now. Go away snow!......brrrrr!

Wow, that is so 'springy' - nothing like that here yet, although it is dry today thank goodness. I have to go and catch the bus into town so I am thankful for that :)

Thanks Poppylover and Gee ...
milder weather and spring flowers on their way !!!
Hurray :o)))

Snowing hard here Terra! :( but it won't lie....tomorrow is promising to be much warmer!

Hi Karen ..
get your bikini ready for tomorrow ;o)

lol! Even the Hot Tub is empty Terra...no chance of any Bikini being sported in these parts!...should have said 'on' these parts! :))

Lol. your new slimmer shape ...
.. all parts ..
justifies spending cash on a new bikini !!!

Lovely signs of spring, fine snow here so still cold and damp, looking forwards to it a bit milder
Is that winter jasmine in the background?

Hello Pam... thank you ...
Winter jasmine back left ...
has flowered very well this winter...
Clematis armandii further down on the pergola ...
nice to have lots of evergreens !

Hi Terra, all very useful in these grey days, especially the jasmine...

Terra, your garden looks wonderful! Mine looks a terrible mess at the moment. I don't know how you do it. Your crocus looks very pretty. Your C. Armandii is fabulous, I really must get more evergreens:-)

Yes, Pam and Bornagain ..
Winter interest is cheering ...
I haven't done any gardening all winter, other than raking up leaves off the lawns and paths !

lovely pic Terra...spring will soon be here...:-)

Hi Sandra .. many thanks..
yes, spring almost here :o)

Hi Homebird
Thanks ... I hope you have milder weather soon ...

Lots of sparrows in my gardens this winter, so I'm hoping they'll leave my crocus flowers alone ... the small birds seem to prefer pecking the climbers ... and this year ... yippee... they even left my viburnum blossom alone :o)))

What a welcome sight TT. I don't think mine are showing yet - but they are in the grass :o(

Thanks, Tracey ...
looking at these, can you see why I named my yellow and green budgie "Crocus" :o)))

Isn't it lovely to see the signs of another Spring season coming? ... The birds have demolished the four yellow Crocus (or are they Crocii???) that were brave enough to open up in my back garden! Post a pic of yours when they've opened up, Tt ...:o)

Hi Shirley ... Thanks..
Yes, the signs of springtime are coming thick and fast now ...
I hope my crocus flowers stay intact ... I'll try to photograph them for you ... :o)

:o)))

Hi TT - A very appropriate name for dear Crocus! :o)))

Added to favourites - a very lovely sight.

Tracey ..
Crocus budgie sent you a 'thank you' tweet...
... I hope you received it ;o)

Thanks Wildrose ..
Today, the little crocus flowers have bloomed even more. :o)

beauties! Nothing to report as yet this end (in Bury) but lots of little pokey-out bits of green! Wonder what they will be. eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek exxxcccccciiiittttiiinnnnng!

A lovely spring pic....

Your garden looks rich.

Thank you Jill, Dotty and Bik...
I've just added to GoY, a photo of the crocus now in full bloom.. :o)
