I call these &#8220;baby&#8221; daffodils because they are only a few inches tall.  These little daffodils bloomed this past week in front of my house.  My large daffodils in the back look like they might bloom any day now.  I have seen some daffodils in bloom elsewhere in Highland Park.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.leoraw.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/crocus_purples.jpg" alt="crocus_purples" title="crocus_purples" width="520" height="347" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7785" /><br />
Because I like yellow and purple together, here are some little crocuses that are situated in the far corner of my backyard.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.leoraw.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/crocus_stripe_orange.jpg" alt="crocus_stripe_orange" title="crocus_stripe_orange" width="520" height="347"  /><br />
Enjoy the lovely striped crocuses with orange stamen that grow in front of my home.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.leoraw.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/crocus_white.jpg" alt="crocus_white" title="crocus_white" width="520" height="347" /><br />
I also have white crocuses that popped up recently next to my sidewalk.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.leoraw.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/periwinkle.jpg" alt="periwinkle" title="periwinkle" width="520" height="383"  /><br />
The first periwinkle has shown its purplish blue petals on the side of my house.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.leoraw.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/crocus_purple_bunch.jpg" alt="crocus_purple_bunch" title="crocus_purple_bunch" width="520" height="347" /><br />
This is a fun bunch of purple crocuses that emerged under my climbing rose bush.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.leoraw.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/deer_nibbled.jpg" alt="Deer have already nibbled at our tulips." title="deer_nibbled" width="520" height="347"  /><br />
My neighbor just showed me where the deer have already nibbled at his (and my) tulips.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.leoraw.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/deer_nibbled_marked.jpg" alt="deer_nibbled_marked" title="deer_nibbled_marked" width="520" height="347"  /><br />
The pink markings show where the deer nibbled (upper left) and the deer hoof (bottom right).  I am thinking of buying blood meal.  Other deer-friendly scare tactics welcome.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Crocuses are blooming in Central New Jersey: purple, orange and striped!]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.leoraw.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/crocus_purple.jpg" alt="crocus_purple" title="crocus_purple" width="520" height="347" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7320" /><br />
Such a joy that my neighbor&#8217;s crocuses are blooming! (Two points for anyone who can pluralize crocus in a different way, without looking it up in Google, no cheating!)</p>
<p><img src="http://www.leoraw.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/crocus_orange.jpg" alt="crocus_orange" title="crocus_orange" width="520" height="347" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7322" /><br />
For some reason the orange ones have opened up before the purples.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.leoraw.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/crocus_striped.jpg" alt="crocus_striped" title="crocus_striped" width="520" height="347" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7323" /><br />
A few of the crocuses have stripes!</p>
