My goodness, flowers are blooming here! Of course, we have had such a warm winter with temperatures in the 50's many days. I think the plants think it's spring. We have a rhododendron in the front yard in bloom, but then that particular bush blooms every year in February. Anyway, this was the first crocus I have seen, and it was blooming at Alton Baker Park. I think it is a harbinger of spring.
