Crocus, Canna, Hyacinth

It's tough to get a photo that captures the lawn, but there are a couple hundred crocuses blooming out there. I hope the cannas survived the winter - this was our first year with them, and we picked them up for super cheap last summer, or I wouldn't have gotten them. I refuse to dig bulbs up for the winter, so we dumped a full bag of mulch on each clump and hoped for the best. And the hyacinths are still lovely. :)

Crocuses

I know. A little underwhelming for the work I put into them. But a few years from now, when they've gotten well established and spread, I expect they will be magnificent. :)

Crocus Lawn

It's a little hard to see (OK, I'm looking at it on my computer now and I don't see them at all), but they're starting to come out - this is from early morning, when they're closed. I'll have to get another in the afternoon.

Blooms!

20 Sq Ft of Spring

I now have a total of 4 crocuses blooming - 2 of each color. The other two photos are a sedum groundcover and a clump of irises. The iris photo posted upside down for some reason. My phone is psychotic.

Not So Lonely

There are two more, within a foot or two, that are starting to show some color.

Why, Yes, I Do Go Check On It Daily Now.

My first crocus.

Spring is Springing!

The back side of the mailbox bed with various leftover perennial foliage, some hyacinths starting to sprout near the mailbox and in the culvert ditches, and my first crocus.

Progress

Various crocuses beginning to appear.

The Anticipation Is Killing Me

I have a feeling these are going to come up in a wave across the yard since it took me weeks to plant all 2000. These are from the first few I planted.
