photos taken March 24th 2024 of purple crocuses and snowy red hellebores.

Well, this week the snow melted, the crocuses and hellebores emerged from beneath it to bloom gleefully, and then it snowed again.

Looking back 1-2 weeks and 1-2 years confirms that it is definitely pretty crocuses season! (And crazy red, front-garden tulips season soon to come!)

Looking back 2-4 weeks and 2-4 years shows off a bit of haunting, snowy March symmetry, but also promises that the snow will be giving way to lots of green new shoots.

…This week my garden is probably not going to bother being too bedraggled by the snow and get on with more blooming shortly.
