A free ticket to Lotusland? Forget it! It's early spring so welcome to Crocus-land. The spring crocus is very beautiful but it's strictly time-limited. In two weeks it will be gone but worry not! As the world turns, Crocus-land will magically reappear - same time, same place. You can depend on it.
The Latin phrase "omne trium perfectum" translates as; "All good things come in threes". Maybe the Romans were talking about snowdrops, which are native to Europe and the Middle East. Seen 'head on' this flower appears to have three petals (two white petals and a green one in the middle) but this plant actually has six petals (three white and three green). This is best appreciated when looking at a snowdrop from three different angles.
