We are having an early warm day today!

The crocus under an old oak in back, are heated by reflected
South exposure sun on the wooden fence, and come up earlier than our others.

The little purple species have been blooming for a couple of days scattered in the yard.

These today are early hybrid larger ones. Both clumps come from a few bulbs I put in decades ago...that have just increased.
That spot is warm surrounded by some icy mud that I had to go thru to get these two photos. They look inviting from a distance.

That is great you found your mystery plant. It is fun to have surprises. When my son moved into his first home, he had a mystery plant by the back patio sliding door, in some shade.
It came up before anything else, and we discovered it was a Hellebore!

First time I had ever seen one!

You know, Lara, Google images is just so handy! What did we do before it came about? LOL
