Iris reticulata, that squat little beauty, pokes itself through the blanket of March snow, having shown up as one of the earliest harbinger of spring, a couple of weeks now. After the rains, more of them show up to stay.
And lo, just a day or so ago, the patch of giant crocuses burst into blue flames.
Meanwhile, throughout this time, the blue jay has been showing up as a noisy undertone to the premise that BLUE heralds spring as much as GREEN.

What a great post! I love your words and photos and the beautiful blue in your garden. It's not a colour that comes to mind at this time of year. Usually I think of yellow and pink. The determined iris reticulata poking through the snow is precious. A good reminder to persevere and be hopeful -- spring will come.
Thank you, Elaine. I just discovered your blog through the Flatbush Gardener, hence my comment there. I will keep coming back to check on your blog/garden activities.
This time of the year, the garden blogs are godsend.
