The first crocus this year! :-)

The first crocus this year! :-) a photo by Cobra_11 on Flickr.

Our garden is slowly becoming colourful :-) Today, the first crocus this year opened up. It was bathing in the warm sun all day. This crocus is special for another reason, too: it's a cross of some kind. It's violet at the top, with a white line in the middle, and orange at the bottom. I can't wait to see more of these in our garden! :-)
