Crocuses, No Snow Yet!

The bigger crocuses (cream/white)  in the back yard, near the bird bath, discovered mid-February...say, around February 15, and the tiny "Persian" crocuses, both pale yellow and blue, in the front a bit later, approximately February 22 (yellow), and 27th (blue).  The large flock of snowdrops are still in the backyard near the fence, and they have popped up elsewhere, a few at a time.  This is the first time we haven't had a snow cover, so it's easy to see the flowers!

The TV weather folks say that every month (Nov-Feb) has had an average temperature 5 degrees higher; I've put water in the birdbath many days, and the little guys have splashed around.  No snow on the ground, but some is expected today.
