Crocus

I found these crocus this morning at the side of the house  -  a nice surprise as I didn't think we had any, and it seems (at the moment anyway)  they are the only ones. 

It seems an age since we had any real bloom in the garden and I can't wait till it's a riot of colour again.  We have lots of shrubs with different coloured foliage  -  red, yellow, acid greens etc., and they're nice, but personally I like flowers, or at least flowering shrubs.  I think it will be a few weeks yet, but I'm really willing Spring to hurry up and make an appearance.
