Here in Massachusetts, zone 5b, there was a surprise yesterday. Two
small clumps of crocuses bloomed in the lawn. They are probably Crocus
tommasinianus, perhaps Barr's Purple. That patch of lawn was planted
with crocus about 25 years ago, and in the Spring there are lots of
blooms there, but this does not happen in October. I have never
planted autumn crocus bulbs in the yard, just tommies and a few large
Dutch crocus.

Will there be a plague of frogs? Will the river turn to blood, or is
this just some normal variation I never noticed before? Will these
plants die when it gets colder? Will they rebloom some time?

We have already had frost. My wipers pushed some off the windshield
this morning.

Always surprises...
