It seems that all the flower pictures I've posted so far this year are crocuses. Well, they are really at their best today so here are some more! Glory-of-the-snow just started blooming yesterday! I've been trying to get a good picture of the whole flower garden but the camera can't seem to do it justice unless the garden is full. But here it is anyway. Well, I better go get back to work! There is so much to do in the gardens right now. I planted Shirley poppies and love-in-a-mist directly in the garden yesterday. This morning I planted zinnias, balsam, and four o'clocks inside. I ran out of potting soil, but still need to plant marigolds, cosmos, cauliflower, cabbage, and more phlox and stocks. Outside, I'm working on expanding the vegetable garden. Hopefully I'll get some pictures of that work in progress soon!

Your garden looks like flower fairies might feel at home. Cicely Mary Barker borrowed her neighbor's children to pose as flower fairies, and in her art she dressed the children with clothes made from whichever flower she was painting. Here's her crocus fairies: https://flowerfairies.com/the-crocus-fairies/
