It's been such a long time since I last posted about flowers! So here are some crocuses that appeared one day in Lafitte - a delicate gift, courtesy of the garden.
They make me think of Joni Mitchell's song Little Green (hear it here), from her masterpiece, Blue: There'll be crocuses, to bring to school tomorrow... I adore every song on that album.

I love Joni Mitchell. I haven't listened for a long time, though I was reminded already on another blog last week. Was a post about JM singer songwriters over on Cindy's blog, in NYC, called Quaint handmade.
I love your crocuses.

Oh my, do you know what my photography teacher told me?
' You can takes pictures of everything, every brick every leaf every drop, everything but flowers, for they're so everyday '
My heart stopped beating for a moment. How could he say that? Oh god.
