Morning Eye Candy: To a Crocus

Welcome, wild harbinger of spring!
To this small nook of earth;
Feeling and fancy fondly cling
Round thoughts which owe their birth
To thee, and to the humble spot
Where chance has fixed thy lowly lot.

- Bernard Barton, “To a Crocus” (1827)

Forgive me for crooning verse so early in the year, but it seems spring has no qualms with breaking schedule. These little guys have popped up near Wamsler Rock.

Finding photographers among the NYBG staff is proving easier than expected! The Herbarium’s Amy Weiss was kind enough to share these crocuses with us, complete with visitors. The flowers seem glad of the mesh we put down to keep hungry interlopers from rooting around in the soil.
