I still have some toadlilies and some geraniums blooming unless the freeze got them the other night. But that's about it.

This one does not have the long leaves, just the narrow 10 inches ones. I do have another pink one with the large strap like leaves. Anything blooming now is welcome. Nancy

They are lovely though, as you said, and thanks for showing us. I'm further north and my Crocus sativus and several types of Colchicum have been all done for weeks now. Thanks for sharing!
BTW, my neighbor auctioned off her house and left and now it's a rental. I got permission from the new owner to rescue a large amount of 4 kinds of Colchicum. It was the wrong time to harvest but I feared he'd destroy them so I went ahead. I'm hoping to see those nice long leaves in the spring.

They do have the long saffron looking stamens? but that was not what I thought I bought a long time ago. Guess I need to go harvest them, but tomorrow when it warms up some.

Nancy, those look more like saffron crocus to me.

I know these are bulbs but anything that looks this good after the 25 F degree temperatures we have had here in Tennessee needs to be appreciated more.
My nerines look so sad and frozen today though. This is the first time ever that the flowers on Nerine has fail to bloom.
