I was taking this picture of the crocusses in front of our kitchen window (from inside) when a squirrel came and pulled up one that was just emerging out of the ground, chewed off the stems and devoured the bulb. I tried to scare it away, but failed, so I took pictures. It was so quick, it looked like he had done it 100 times before (and considering I planted several hundred new crocusses this year, I really hope that's not the case). I went outside afterwards, picked up the pieces and put them in water, I don't know if they'll still bloom or not. I've never seen then dig up a growing crocus before: has anybody had experience like this? Any suggestions? |
