We thought we were going to get crocuses (crocii?) this year. There were 6 or so yellow blossoms yesterday, not yet open but fully visible, waiting for some warmth. And this is what they look like today. The rabbit loves the crocii. The squirrels love the tulip bulbs. So, we grow squill and daffodils. Both are getting close to flowering. Spring arrives tomorrow; better get going on the raking of lawns and thinning of perennials.

Rabbitted again!

Poor little croci! One 'i'. Pronounced KROH-see or KROH-sigh, depending on whether you go by the Church Latin or English Method.
Stupid Oryctolagus cuniculus!

Although I did not clearly catch its accent, I am pretty sure the rabbit is not European. More like a sylvilagus transitionalis.
Definitely stupid.
