So pretty! I’m especially taken with the white. I started wondering whether ‘crocuses’ or ‘croci’ was the proper plural (both are acceptable, depending on context) and when I went looking, I found a photo of this one, called Jeanne d’Arc: white with purple accents. If I had a garden and the right climate, I’d be tempted to try that one.
Theoretically, I suppose so, but I’m an appreciator, not a gardener. Besides, here in the depths of zone 9, on the Texas coast, crocuses, daffodils, snowdrops, and such just don’t thrive. In Austin you can get away with them, and Dallas offers a congenial setting, but our environment favors other plants!
Here in the deep deep south of the US mine are finished. They probably won’t return next year but that’s OK since they are pretty cheap so easy to plant again.

Just waiting for a little sunshine warmth, to make us humans happy. Hopefully Honey bees and no bunnies will find them.

Rabbits seem to leave them alone…I’m just happy that chipmunks haven’t dug up the corms!

How does that saying go…for the price of a coffee (at Starbucks at least) you can plant a dozen crocus corms and have joy for a week or two….
