Crocus lawn

I found this lawn in St. John's, Newfoundland today...incredible display of Crocus tomassinianus...must have been growing and self-seeding for years to reach this stage.

I love it! When I visited Hampton Court in England a few years in April they had this too, It was just breathtaking.
Always wanted to try it on my lawn but it needs mowed a long time before the crocus leaves die back:-( -C

In Pasadena, California I saw an entire yard planted to jade plant. It was mowed about 6-inches high. Most unusual ground cover that I have seen.

That makes me want to buy a few hundred every year until I die! Masses of little bulbs have just blown me away in some displays and pics I've seen this year. Great pic, thanks for sharing.

Wonderful picture.

I suppose this is how crocus would be in the wild. A lovely way to grow them on masse - very effective.

That picture is amazing! I began planting crocus in my parents' back yard just before I moved. Now, every spring three little patches of crocus bloom in the grass. Oh, well. I don't think it will ever look like that!
