Bright Yellow, White and Purple crocus plants were in full bloom in the Snake raised garden bed. They were among the first to bloom in our back yard.

Yellow and purple crocus flowers bloomed next to the first path stone leading behind the Snake raised garden. One might expect them to be mashed by feet, but they were not.

After the Hellebore bloomed, the tiny crocus plants were the first to bloom in February. Here, four yellow crocus flowers had bloomed on the base of one of the two backyard hills.

A single yellow crocus flower had bloomed behind the green blooming Hellebore plant. More thin leaves hinted at more crocus flowers in the near future.
