Crocus time

The C. tommasinianus are at their best just now and although they are shaded in the lawn, a mild sunny day brings them out.  Without sun they open up within minutes if you cut them and bring them into the warmth.  You can watch them perform and you have to admit it is magic even although you do it every year.
They are really photogenic as you can see.  And what is that I see - a new species growing out of a puffball.  I know you don't believe it but it's true.
