Although this could very well be a picture of me finding a new treasure at a favorite nursery, it's actually an illustration by David Catrow for a children's book called Plantzilla.

Aw, I LOVE that! There truly is something special about purple crocuses. I need to get myself some designer squirrels, I think! :)
ReplyDeleteThe squirrels don't eat C. tommasinianus the way they do other crocus but they still like to replant them for me. They've spread throughout a bed pretty quickly due to the designer squirrels!
DeleteThey never plant anything this nice in my garden.
ReplyDeleteWe have a walnut tree nearby and I'm constantly pulling up little trees that they plant. Crazy critters.
DeleteWhat exactly are you filling your squirrel feeder with? ;)
ReplyDeleteHere too they just seem to plant acorns.
Since I've stopped feeding the birds/squirrels there are lots more interesting things moved around in my garden.
DeleteNature trains her little helpers well.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful mistake. My squirrels are never that thoughtful.
ReplyDeleteMine are threatening to unionize and demand that I bring back the sunflower seed filled bird feeders.
DeleteFurry buggers here would have just eaten it.
ReplyDeleteHere they eat most of the other crocus but leave tommasinianus alone aside from their periodic replanting of them.
DeleteYeah, my fuzzy tailed rats just wait until the crocus bloom and then nip off their heads.
ReplyDeleteI have a few inherited crocus, the later blooming bigger ones, that usually get decapitated by the FTR's but they leave the blooms of tommasinianus alone.
DeleteYeah, goodbye winter. Glad to see the back of him. (Assuming winter is a male.) I am a big fan of Tommy crocus and also find that malicious rodents leave them alone.
ReplyDeleteYour squirrels plant flower bulbs?! Can I ship my squirrels north for training? Please!
ReplyDeleteI guess there's one advantage to grey squirrels over Douglas squirrels. My little native squirrels don't plant bulbs for me.
