It felt great to be working in the garden and the first crocus of the year added to the excitement.</p> <p> <figure> <a data-fancybox="Crocus, witch hazel, spring." href="https://photos.smugmug.com/i-xN2BMS7/0/M/i-xN2BMS7-M.jpg" data-caption="yellow crocus"> <img src="https://photos.smugmug.com/i-xN2BMS7/0/M/i-xN2BMS7-M.jpg" alt="yellow crocus"> </a> <figcaption>yellow crocus</figcaption> </figure> <figure> <a data-fancybox="Crocus, witch hazel, spring." href="https://photos.smugmug.com/i-BmM9nL5/0/M/i-BmM9nL5-M.jpg" data-caption="purple crocus"> <img src="https://photos.smugmug.com/i-BmM9nL5/0/M/i-BmM9nL5-M.jpg" alt="purple crocus"> </a> <figcaption>purple crocus</figcaption> </figure> </p> <p>We have mainly yellow and purple crocus in the yard, usually growing in little clusters. Growing solo out of a small rock wall, the color of this lone purple flower really popped.</p>
