Are You the Stinker?

Was out in the great outdoors today and in my own backyard looking for signs of spring.
I noticed my crocuses growing in the woods.
I did not plant them in the woods.
I noticed my 15 year old crocuses are not growing where I planted them.
Some little stinker dug them up and planted them in the woods!

Stinkers - ah yes - I am familiar with them! Oh gosh, how far away are the crocuses from their original spot? At least they are growing somewhere - very pretty! In digging and weeding the yard lately, I have found a lot of whole hazelnuts and walnuts - I should have left them so we could grow nut trees .

I had walnut trees trying to start in my yard you wouldn't want any as the shoots keep trying to take over the yard and garden.

They are very nice looking crocuses, I remember back in my garden in Lavita the first signs of spring were these little blue flowers by my fence and then the tulips would pop up and I enjoyed how the garden looked,

Possibly a squirrel did that. I do not have crocuses at this house, yet. Maybe I will get some planted. Pretty where ever they are planted and bloom.

That's strange that someone would have done that! They are very pretty though

Very pretty. You need to buy more crocuses for your yard! :-)

That's strange. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the seeds had found their way to the woods and grown but if your crocuses are gone from where you planted them that's a different matter.

@DianneN That may be true - but do squirrels plant stuff aswell?
