If you’ve been following Flowery Prose for a while, you’ll know that I post a new photo of these beauties every single year around this time. It’s a tradition I’m sticking to…I hope you don’t mind. 🙂

Flowery Prose 
Your tags suggest it’s a crocus — but it’s not like any crocus I’ve ever seen. It is beautiful.
Yes, it’s our very lovely prairie crocus, Pulsatilla patens: http://www.wildaboutflowers.ca/plant_detail.php?Prairie-Crocus-81. It is one tough little thing!
Lovely as is your header shot. 🙂
So many beautiful flowers! 🙂
First signs of spring are always irresistible. Long warm end to summer here – bit worrying actually…
The seasons and the weather that goes with them does seem to be changing all over the world….
Mind? Au contraire! I love it. Spring and its delights never get old.
I love the craziness of this time of year – the changeable weather, the new growth. It always feels like you’re experiencing it all for the first time.
I know just what you mean! It feels new every single spring. I love it!
I know up North crocus is a welcomed sign of spring. We are sending the birds up!
Yay! They seem to be arriving on time…just hope it warms up a bit more soon….
I think I saw the same flower at Nose hill!
Yes, you did! That’s where I always find a ton of these…. 🙂
Don’t mind at all Sheryl! Mine are flowering too, in time for Easter!
Perfect timing!

They are amazing – my favourites!
I’d be sorry if you didn’t! I love them; ours are flowering here as well.

Breathtaking colour!
Traditions are good. 🙂 Do you find the crocus appears at almost the same time each year? Or are you seeing changes in their arrival which you could attribute to climate change?
I haven’t really noticed a change in their bloom time over the past several years; their schedule seems pretty much the same. About three years ago (may have been four?), they were much later than usual as our heavy snows lingered on the ground into May. That’s not typical for the snow to stick around that long – we may get snowfall right up into June, but it doesn’t last in those warmer months.
Nicely done (as always), Sheryl. Where I live, we won’t be even thinking about flowers for another month.
Thanks!
We need more sunshine to kickstart those flowers, that’s for sure! 🙂
I don’t mind at all, in fact I would encourage it!
I am so glad!
