66/365: A year in flowers - the crocus

Plenty of mileage to be had with flower milestones, I think.
Here are some of the crocuses (crocii?) in my garden. The problem with crocuses is that you need hundreds to make an impact. Mine are a bit patchy. Over zealous weeding got rid of most of them in the autumn. But they do look stunning in clumps all the same colour.

61/365: A year in flowers: snowdrops

They're late this year but the snowdrops and crocii are now flowering profusely in the lovely garden at work.
Snowdrops hold a particular place in my heart, not just because they're one of the first harbingers of spring but because when I was a child, I spent my pocket money on some snowdrops for my mum and she always remembers that.

I've tried to plant them in the garden but they are notoriously difficult. Don't ever buy them as seeds or plants at any other time of the year except now: you have to buy them "in the green" and they will be available now.
