After what seems like weeks of dull, cold weather (but really only a few days) the sun is out and warm this morning. And some crocuses which have been furled tightly for days are now wide open and deliciously fragrant: Crocus longiflorus, C. goulimyi, C. ochroleucus and c. sativus. I'm enjoying it while I can because nasty stuff is on the way.
