Julianne Robertson - my garden in spring

A couple of years ago I decided my front lawn needed some spring colour - so I bought dozens of crocus bulbs and planted them into the grass during the winter. They flowered that first year (2023) and have been going strong ever since, providing some much needed cheer early on in the season. They make me smile each spring when I see their little white and purple spears emerging from the mossy grass. 

The purple variety is 'Flower Record' and the white is 'Jeanne d'Arc'. On a sunny day they open wide and attract early bees, which are very welcome in my garden. I'm hoping they'll naturalise and gradually spread across the lawn in years to come.
