I wrote so much about the crocus on mrsD's Got too many books? thread and lo and behold, like magic, I go out into my garden this morning and there is this beautiful pink flower.

One of my neighbours (90s) recently left her home here across the street to go to a nursing home. She and I have always been very close and I looked after her a lot until it was time that she couldn't live independently anymore.

Her daughter-in-law bought me over some pots that her Mum thought I would like to have. One of them is a pure white geranium and another was this huge pot with grassy leaves in it the shape of garlic chives. lol

I thought it was a pot full of weeds, but when I went outside this morning there is this beauiftul pink crocus. Well, I think it's a crocus, but it has totally different shaped foliage from my simple little white crocus.

I took a few photos with my very old phone. Terrible quality but hopefully they come out better than I thought. This is a crocus???
