cold frame

I cleaned out my cold frame today, in a sunshine break after weeks of rain and high wind. Found a Moraea in flower, also the tiny Polyxena longituba, seeds originally from Mary Sue (Thanks, MS, they are one more flower in the off season). 

The surprise was the Moraea, in a pot of what is otherwise Zephyranthes. Blue with a yellow signal. 

My goal tomorrow (weather permitting) is to transplant all the remaining rain lilies in to much deeper pots to give the bulbs room to grow. 
I also checked open garden beds for bulbs/corms, and as I had suspected, the squirrels and chipmunks have eaten all the fall crocus. I intend to replant, but in buried wire mesh boxes. . . building those boxes sounds like a good winter project.
