Missouri Botanical Garden – An early spring day at the Garden. The weather was wonderful. Most of the flowers were just starting to come out of the winter but daffodils and other spring flowers were in bloom. One fairly large field (lawn?) area was almost covered with crocus, either purple ones like this on white ones. They were only there for a short time, but we know that like Garden visitors they will return although it will be about a year before their next appearance.
