I have crocuses that bloom in Jan. I haven't been out to check them because it has been to cold to get out. Mine starts middle to last of Jan. and blooms thru march. I have tulips and daffs. that are poking thru the ground. I'm going to check mine tomorrow.

I want to sneak into their yard and take one! (A photo, not pick their crocus!) Our front yards are small and we do know them. We're back to rain now though. All of my bulbs are up an inch so maybe I'll have crocus in a few weeks myself!

Sorry, but this is the best I could do. We didn't have any sunshine today so the blooms didn't open. They will proably die instead of opening now since it's suppose to rain the next few days.
