redbird: closeup of pale purple crocuses (crocuses)
( Feb. 25th, 2017 04:04 pm)
We've just had a few unseasonably warm days (high of 74F/23C yesterday, 70F/21C today) with quite a bit of sunshine. [livejournal.com profile] cattitude went out to buy coffee and booze while I was taking some things over to [personal profile] adrian_turtle, and getting some grapefruit from her in return. While I was on the bus, he texted me a photo of some small white flowers, and then of crocuses. So of course after I got back from the grocery store, we headed out again so he could show them to me.

In addition to the crocuses (both purple and yellow) and snowdrops he had seen on his first walk, we saw periwinkles (Vinca, not the animals), tiny white flowers we didn't recognize, and tiny yellow flowers that looked a little like pineapple grass.

The weather is expected to cool off tomorrow, but I suspect that the crocuses, snowdrops, and periwinkles will be fine; the first two are early-spring perennials, and periwinkle is pretty hardy.

Also, we have both walked too much; before Cattitude sent me photos of flowers, my plan was to come home from the grocery store and stay put, rather than do any more stairs today.
