Feb 16 - 18 The Colquitz River and more crocuses

 On February 15 we had very heavy rains and the river rose to nearly the top of the bridge on our street, and on the street where the blue bridge goes over the river to the trail up the hill.  The measuring stake is no longer in the river.  It must have washed away with the heavy rains.  In the last photo you can see the invasive species.  We have sooooooo very much ivy and blackberries along the river.  By the blue bridge this ivy has completely taken over a patch of lovely fawn lilies.  I must get out there and remove a bit of the ivy... I know the lilies will still be under there.

Two photos of the crocuses from February 18.  More to follow as February in my garden has been all about the crocus field.
