| Spring crocus |
These little charmers are blooming just outside the kitchen window under the shelter of the arctic willows. Each year their tender green fingers reach up through the snow searching for the sun. And if they find enough encouragement, they celebrate by throwing up slender shoots of color that swell like tiny hot air balloons until they burst open and warm their golden hearts. Surrounded by the frozen ground, they fly their colors boldly, so tiny and brave they inspire me.

| Spring crocus at Bindweed |
The crocus also signal a transition at Bindweed. It has only been a few weeks but we are harvesting the late blooming tulips in the greenhouse. The tulips in the hoop-house are forming heads and the hyacinth are beginning to open.

We have an abundance of tulips in a more limited palette. We have a new variety of white that is absolutely massive with big full heads. "Maureen", another white tulip is also in bloom. "Happy Generation", white with a red stripe is beginning to make a strong appearance and "Dordogne", a beautiful mango colored beauty is blooming.
