African Garden + winter

Small Blooms: March 2011 Bloom Day
Crocus chyrsanthus 'Princess Beatrix'

At long last, the garden has shaken off its winter slumber and is bursting into life. The crocus pictured above is the first crocus to open, but not the first bloom. That achievement always belongs to Galanthus elwesii, the giant snowdrop.

The Galanthus is in full bloom and has been been blooming for nearly a month now.

That's all I've got. To see more blooms, visit the hostess of Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day, Carol, at May Dreams Gardens. Also, check out today's post at Beautiful Wildlife Garden, where I offer tips for getting along with wildlife.
