Hah !!! This made me laugh when I read about the crocuses.
When I was staying with my sister in law in New Jersey in 1980....it was the same time, because I was there Feb/March....when we all went on an outing she'd get all excited and say "LOOK !!! A crocus". After a while I said to her "What the bloody hell is a crocus ???" And she'd reply "It means, Spring is here"
