Crocuses at the end of February

 The crocus field in the front boulevard garden.  The grass is quite long this year.  I shall leave it long until the crocus leaves harden off.

 Dark purple crocuses in the Magnolia tree bed. 

 The yellow crocuses are usually the first ones up in the Spring.  This bunch is just under the plum tree in the boulevard garden.

I love these striped crocuses.  There seems to be at least 3 patterns for the stripes.

We have had some high winds over the past two days and cooler temperatures.  Hydro reported that there were 50,000 people from the islands and the lower mainland without power.  We were ok, and the garden does not seem to have suffered any damage.
