First Flower

[ysabetwordsmith]

The first flower is blooming here at Fieldhaven! :D


The view east over the house yard shows mostly brown with hints of green in the grass. I need to start cleaning up the yard.




Here is a wide view of the goddess garden (sans goddess statue). It almost disappears in the cold season, especially with the thymes covering the bricks. The statue won't go back out until considerably later in spring.




This pale lavender snow crocus is the first flower to bloom this year. Usually the winter aconite blooms first, or sometimes the miniature irises. Hmm, I should check the snowdrops, I forgot to do that.




From this angle you can see the stamens inside. If it were a sunny day, this thing would probably have half a dozen bees on it. I haven't seen any bees yet, but the first ones usually appear as wads of scuffling foragers knocking my crocus flat with their antics.




The tulip bed has lots of flowers sprouting, but they're only 1-2 inches tall and haven't bloomed yet. There are some crocuses in there, though. Soon I need to rake off the leaves and maybe spread some compost.




Tulips are sprouting. Most are still small like this.

Your snow crocus and almost-tulips give me hope for spring!

That's such a beautful little crocus! Ours haven't dared to show themselves yet.
