You are likely to see the crocus flowers popping up out of the snow as they are one of the first flowers to bloom in the spring.
Crocuses come in many colors and in solids as well as stripes. You will see them in white, yellow, orange and all shades of purple from pale lavender to a deep royal purple.
You will see the narrow white-striped leave and flower buds pushing out of the ground before most other plants. They will bloom and go dormant in early spring so you can even grow them in your lawn.
They will spread slowly so under good conditions you will get a few more every year.
Plant them in the fall when the soil is cool – below 65 degrees – and you will have these lovely flowers next spring.
