The groundcover (sedum?) is nice and green too.<br /><br />Last fall we planted about 300 daffodils and 200 tulips, thinking that by the time Spring comes, they will be an extremely welcome sight. They are just starting to poke their top leaves out of the mulch. Your crocuses are way ahead of anything here.Daniel Wachenheimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11009166706587141830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-19178319473226865032007-01-31T06:33:00.000-05:002007-01-31T06:33:00.000-05:00I know at least one niece who would like an elepha...I know at least one niece who would like an elephant ear in her Easter basket, just because of the name of the plant.

The secret is the little microclimate where they are protected by the porch and step. They are probably sorry they tried to bloom now, though, since it is very, very cold this week.

These few crocuses are really early because I think they get some radiant heat off the brick by being close to the edge of the porch and front step.
