I had a beautiful purple crocus, the first one to open,
and when I went outside in the morning, it was in pieces. The stem had been bitten through, the petals were on the ground, and the stamens had been carried a couple of feet away.
hej Judy... i feel very itneresting the flower on the stone...great havea nice weekend, dear thanks for the commment http://graceolsson.com/blog/2010/03/a-vida-continua-life-goes/
From what you describe, it sounds more like it was pecked off by a bird. When i lived in the midwest, you could sit and watch the birds just go along "pecking" at the new shoots. Very exasperating! Sorry you lost your crocus! :(
ALL of my Crocus have been eaten by some little critter(s). Any ideas on how to curb their appetite since I have many more to sprout? I moved to Richmond Hill, ON and this is my first spring growing Crocus here. I'm frustrated!! HELP!!

We are having problems with flower-eating critters this year as well. Wonder why ...
ReplyDeleteAll the little critters are excited to see green too, it must have been tasty. Sorry about the blooms.
