Crocus l like to see them bloom when there is still snow on the ground.
And of course the old stand bys the stellas, tulilps and daffodills.

Hi Grnspot110,
I love hostas, too.  They are the easiest things to grow and divide.  They make gifts to give people.
I like your flowers especially your tulips.  The foot bridge looks great.  I have been wanting one of thoses.  Your dog is so cute.  Thanks for sharing.

How do you keep the squirrels and other rodents from digging up your bulbs?  I had to keep replanting the bulbs last year because they were being pulled out of the ground.  I tried sprinkling black pepper on them hoping that would stop them.  It was short-lived.  After the first rain, they were back at digging them up.
Thanks,
Candy

We really don't have much trouble with squirrels digging!  Chief likes to keep them up the trees.  ~~  Lowell
