Zebra's Child 
When spring comes, I’m extremely excited and want to just go out and munch on some grass 🙂 We live in No. Illinois and have brutal winters sometimes.
I know the feeling. In upstate NY, my grandmother would come inside from getting the mail SO EXCITED when she saw the first crocus peeking through the snow.
Oh, me too! And then come the daffodils 🙂
Daffodils and irises are my favorite. The interesting thing is that it’s not always the crocuses that show up first. Our younger daughter moved to Michigan about a decade ago, and when spring arrived, she called me to tell me that there, the daffodils came through the snow first and the crocuses second. She was really surprised because she had heard the story of my grandmother and the crocuses her whole life!
That is interesting~ Some years the crocuses don’t come up at all (like this year) but they’ve never came up after the daffodils. Usually, crocuses, daffodils, tulips, irises, lilacs, then day lilies and then cone flowers. I actually have some irises that are very different and I believe they are some sort of Japanese Iris?
Yep. That’s my experience, although my grandparents didn’t have tulips or lilacs. What do your irises look like?
My irises are a couple of different shades of purple (2 different plants) and then the other one that someone told me is a Japanese Iris is orange with spots and has 5 flat petals…very tiny blossom but the foliage looks just like an iris. Very different looking.
