I am delighted to encounter several crocuses blooming inward the lawn inward the get days of February, our final amount calendar month of winter.

I checked my garden journal, which I volition acknowledge contains to a greater extent than oft than non sporadic notes these days, together with discovered that the crocuses convey been inward flower this fourth dimension of the twelvemonth for the final several years.

It was a adept reminder to me of the departure betwixt beingness surprised because something unexpected happened together with beingness delighted because something dainty happened equally expected.

Like crocuses blooming inward the lawn inward early on February.

The crocuses are the earliest blooms inward my garden this year, beating out past times a twenty-four hours or 2 ane solitary snowdrop.

Where are the other snowdrops, I wonder.  I know I've planted to a greater extent than than ane together with thus I'll await to a greater extent than inward the days to come.

I noticed the witchhazel is blooming now, too.

This is only the species Hamamelis vernalis. No specific variety. It has a sugariness olfactory belongings which doesn't just waft across the garden. I had to walk upwards to it together with sniff the blooms to notice it.

But that is the garden inward slow winter. Nothing is going to smack yous downwards amongst a big surprise. Blooms must last sought out together with when establish volition brand yous grin amongst delight.
