Crocuses or Croci ?

One the vernacular, one is proper Latin terms according to the article in Gardens Illustrated

But look at this field of plural crocus! My sister visited the Brooklyn Botanic Garden Sunday afternoon and she sent me some photos that featured signs of Spring.

Frosty Morning Iris

If you look across the street you’ll see the frost on the grass. The magnificent Iris are still blooming. Yes, this morning the temperature hovering at freezing.

Lemon Cucumbers

Someone brought me three lemon cucumbers today. They don’t taste lemony, I was told.

Good with hummus.

They showed well in the red Pyrex bowl
