Its Crocus day!

Its Crocus day!
Happy crocus day -well it may not be officially, but it is for me. A couple of hours of February warm sun in our garden brings out these early Spring flowers. A moment of joy in our household and maybe to you here too.
Enjoy.
Crocus is a genus of flowering plants in the iris family comprising 90 species of perennials growing from corms. Many are cultivated for their flowers appearing in autumn, winter, or spring. The spice saffron is obtained from the stigmas of Crocus sativus, an autumn-blooming species. Wikipedia

Hello Elbetinum. Good to see you here. Yes, it is always good to see such blooming flowers, especially in your own garden. Otherwise in a park is OK too. I am not sure of what a 'Duftschneeball' is for a plant.

Best Wishes, Herb

Good to see you again Albert. These have been in our garden some years now and are still just tiny flowers. However their numbers are growing each year. Thanks for the extra information here. The smell of them are as you describe: vanilla.

Best Wishes, Herbert
