Crocuses
Ahhhhhh! Spring at last has come to Calgary with 19 degree weather. The crocuses are out in full bloom . They are the first of the flowers on the hill of course. Running this morning I realized there is much to learn from the humble crocus.
1. Crocuses are the first flowers every spring. Taking the risk and setting the trend can be be scary but rewarding too - less competition and more recognition and appreciation.
2. Crocuses seem to love growing together. Hanging together is great. Life is easier when we share the struggles.
3. Crocuses grow up through grass but not crazy thick grass. Being tough is great but there is no point it carrying it to extremes.
4. Crocuses grow best on the sunniest side of the hill. We all should pay attention to staying in the light.
5. Sometimes there are white crocuses in a clump of purple. Even in a family we can afford to be really different from one another.
