Clarice Cliff Blue Crocus
Filed Under Crocus | Leave a Comment
Hubby bought me a rare but stunning Clarice Cliff blue crocus plate today!
This is marvelous antique pottery with a few crocus plants hand-painted by Clarice Cliff in 1935. An ideal way to have crocus flowers through the whole year.
No need to buy antiques to enjoy crocus flowers, they should be in your garden right now. Otherwise go to your nearest florist and get yourself some crocus flowers and add some hyacinth flowers to will fill your house with spring flower perfumes.
Better find somebody to frame my Clarice Cliff blue crocus plate before I break it…

Crocus flower
Filed Under Crocus, Spring Flower Bulb, Spring flowers | Leave a Comment
It feels like summer here, so I am ready to dig into my spring bulb pictures which I didn’t publish yet and start uploading them on pictures of tulips… So here comes for some other spring flowers!
Crocus flowers
Most crocus flowers are very early spring flower bulbs, sometimes you can even find a crocus in the snow 
Normally a crocus will bloom long before Easter.
The grass like crocus leaves show a typical white line all along the center of the leaf. These days you can still get crocus flowers at your local florist, although I do prefer them in my garden before other plants start growing: let nature run its course
The most common crocus is the Crocus sativus producing saffron! Unlike the "normal" crocus, saffron blooms in autumn. Now don’t start eating your spring crocuses at home nor in your garden, as they are poisonous!

Visit Keukenhof 2008
Filed Under Crocus, FLOWERS, Hyacinth, Keukenhof Gardens, PICTURES OF TULIPS, Spring Flower Bulb, Spring flowers, Transportation & Travel, Tulip fields | Leave a Comment
I saw an advertisement about visiting the tulip gardens in Keukenhof, and I just need to tell you that Keukenhof would be for next year 2008 only! So if you are planning to visit The Netherlands next year, make sure you spend one day in Keukenhof Gardens: you will never ever get another chance to see so many tulip and other spring flower bulbs in 1 garden!
Keukenhof started of after the second world war by the association of Tulip flower growers of Holland, to show their tulip flowers, to sell tulip flowers and to exchange the bulbs.
It then evolved to 80 acres of land with about 6 million bulbs planted each year attracting about 10 million visitors. You will see approximately thousand varieties of Tulips and a lot of other spring flower bulbs like Hyacinths.
Keukenhof is quite near to Amsterdam and if you are lucky you can find me there, as I love to visit it each year just to smell the perfume of the Hyacinth fields
