From top left, anti-clockwise, Crocus tomasianus and Iris reticulata 'Pixie', 'Harmony' and 'Cantab', which opened day by day in the gravel garden in this sequence, starting about ten days ago, in an arc of violet—purple—royal blue—flax blue. (They were briefly kept company by Puschkinia scilloides var. libanotica until the latter was served up for lagomorph hors d'oeuvres.)
At day's end these days, the light is golden amber, calming the mood and elevating the spirit. Yesterday, the first daffodils began to bloom.
I enjoy your blog very much. Keep up the excellent work!

Sorry about the ravages of the lagomorphs [had to look it up, and was unreasonably pleased to have guessed right.] When I lived in Illinois they would disappear the tulips, but Puschkinia?? That stinks. "Cantab' was a favorite up North, too, and I think another Iris reticulata was called 'Joyce'. I, too, would bring a few in to marvel at their small perfection.
