With Narcissus asturiensis, Jaime?  Very pretty hillside.

Indeed Janis, it has many names. I know all of them, but felt lazy to list them all.

Maggi, Armin thanks.

Was lucky to have one warm day to take pictures. They stood closed for about two weeks straight, now it's back to cold/rain/wind and they are flopping.

Armin, only crocus I have in bud in my special bed are white tommies. Should have lots of new hybrid seedlings flowering soon if the squirrels don't ruin them. Hoping to find some dark marked tips this year.

Anne, yes the bees were enjoying the flowers.
