I went out to the Crocus Prairie here in Saskatoon, right after work, and was awarded with some wonderful prairie pasqueflower. And then I spotted this Frigid Mining Bee (Andrena frigida), the first one I have ever seen. These little wonders are put very early, even while there is some snow left on the ground.

Crocus

For his love of Smilax, unhappy Crocus was transformed into a flower.

Sweet dreams !

Today's gray and cloudy here but it was warm enough to enjoy my coffee on the patio in a sweatshirt. Here's a sunny photo from yesterday.

Hey look what came out the rest of the way while I was on vacation. And more to come!
#bloomscrolling #crocus

Oh I didn’t expect this after the last snow fall and rain! They are popping up in the front lawn now here and there! There are more to come.

We also have our first #crocus open today. This is #CrocusChrysanthus “Cream Beauty.” They start out this yellowy butter color and fade to cream as the flowers age.

The #CrocusTommasinianus “Barr’s Purple” are starting to poke their buds up between the grass, but they might have to wait until after the snow that’s due tomorrow to give us a show.

The hungry little queens have awoken

Some more spring impressions from my hometown.

We had several days of warm spell (high twenties) and today we're back to 5-6C. Sometimes I feel like I'm still in Scotland..
