Joyanna's crocus lawn comes up just fine through the turf in the front yard. It didn't bloom as impressively last spring, not sure if it was weather related or if hungry bunnies ate the buds. That area does get pretty shaggy, because I don't let Jim mow it for a couple of weeks after bloom... I put a sign that Herbie & Deb gave me in the center of the patch, though, and that helps to "explain" the unkempt look... plus we mow around the edges, so it looks like something we're doing on purpose, not just like we've neglected to mow.

Second photo is C. chrysanthus 'Prins Claus', third photo is C. siberiacus 'Tricolor'. (spellings are from memory and probably not quite right!)
