Crocus
ここ数日暖かい日が続き、庭の雪もだいぶ融けてきた。
先週雪が降りだす前に地面から顔を出したばかりのクロッカスの蕾に気がついた。でもすぐに雪になり、そのまま一週間も冷たい氷の下に埋もれたままになってしまい心配だったのだが、今朝見たらいくつかは倒れてしまったもののほとんどが元気だったので安心した。 一見繊細そうに見えるが、こうして元気に育っているクロッカスの生命力には感心させられる。
Last week, I found a few buds of crocuses. Then the snow came and they have been covered under the cold ice for more than a week. After a few days of warm weather, most of the snow in my yard has malted away. And finally the crocuses were uncovered this morning. Some of the buds have fallen down, but I was relieved to see most of them looked very healthy.
It’s really amazing to see the strength from such delicate looking flowers.
