March 12th, 2006 Crocuses in bloom!
No kidding! Spring has sprung outside in my yard!
I selected a "sheltered" spot on the east side of the house to plant these early bloomers. Because of the "warmer" location I am able to "push" the normal bloom time in my area to that of a full zone earlier. I love the fact that I typically have some perennial(s) in bloom from the middle of March until the first of November.
A sunny south side will also create a microclimate. I have heard that "snowdrops" will bloom even earlier, although I haven't tried them.
