Well, now, that is just lovely!
What a pleasure to see these flowers !
Now that says spring!
Here’s my Wordless Wednesday!
What a lovely sight!
Our yard grows these tiny purple flowers each spring and I just love seeing them. It makes me all giddy inside. I’m looking forward to the changes to come! Happy #WW!
I love this effect and I hope the voles keep away from my crocus in the lawn so I might see this one day.
That would be lovely for you if they did. Mine will never be as spectacular as these ๐
A lovely sight!
Beautiful – Aberdeen has some parks with plantings like this too. Spring is here now I think.
They do look good ‘en masse’, don’t they?
That is so beautiful, where did you find it?
This is in our local town Pauline and these verges have been planted like this for several years now – there will be rivers of gold shortly. They just get better and better ๐
Where? where is that lovely scene?
Our local town Dorris – the odd few white ones came out a bit later and it actually looked even better when it was ALL purple!
One colour is always better. Good for a municipal/ town display though.
What a beautiful sight!
I love seeing planting like this in public spaces!
Apart from the initial planting it needs no maintenance, and they carefully mow around the leaves till they have all withered. There are even bigger rivers of miniature narcissi to follow shortly as well
Oh I can’t wait for flowers!
Absolutely gorgeous!
A walk through the flowers is a pretty great way to start the day.
Indeed ๐
Magic ๐
The way it transforms almost overnight certainly is!
How lovely, they are the big fat shiny Dutch ones aren’ t they?Just the thing for rivers of purple.
Yes, I think they must be – I did take a close up picture, which in retrospect I could have used as the featured image in the header
How long does this spectacular show go on?
Such a vibrant splash of colour – I have a huge weakness for purple crocuses, especially en masse like this
