Alert! Crocus sticks head out of ground in North Boulder Home Spring has sprung
Jan 18th
Boulder Colorado In the sunshine front yard of a north Boulder home a single crocus stuck it’s head above the soil signaling the beginning of spring in this idyllic hamlet beneath the flat irons. ” I was taking out the garbage this moring about 10:30…….you know those plastic containers on wheels. It’s Tuesday and the garbageman always comes on Tuesday said the resident who asked to remain anonymous. ( Boulder Channel one does not release name of gardeners or birders so they do not become the victims of ridicule) “ I looked down at one of my planting areas and there was a very faint touch of green. I knelt and looked closer, getting ready to pull a weed……….and wait….Oh My God ! it was a Crocus!! Imagine my surprise and it’s only January 18″, the home guardian said.
Though mid January does seem a bit early for Boulder, it is more typical than not. Crocus will continue to pop up and will be full bloom in March.
