A crocus with 4 faces. I still can't decide which face I like more, depends on my mood ;-), so I made a collage of all for of them.
Which one is your favorite?
A very late spring, but Nose Hill is once again covered with crocuses overlooking downtown Calgary 6 km away.
I have been tracking the crocus appearance on Nose Hill for 17 years now. In 2016, I saw the first crocus on March 19. This year and back In 2020, I saw my first crocus on April 25.
These are the first crocuses in my garden that opened up. they are under a tree and often in the shade. So when I saw that the sun was shining right on them, I rushed outside to take this photo.
Just now, I was looking for a good title for my photo and thought of 'catching sunrays'. I checked it and learned from the Urban Dictionary that 'to catch some rays' means 'to sunbathe'. Well, that is just what these crocuses seemed to be doing!
Much as we like to see wild rabbits here, we also enjoy seeing bulbs bloom. Wild things dig up and eat fresh bulbs. This tiny purple crocus began to bloom in the half-whiskey or wine barrel filled with soil. A joy to see.

Each year I post a photo of the first Prairie Crocus
(Anemone patens ) that I see. In 2016, I saw the first one on March 19. This is the latest in the year since I have been recording the first crocus.
