We all could use a taste of spring right about now. And a reader from Port Washington has come to the rescue, forcing me to launch the 2nd annual spring blossom watch early this year.
He found this beautiful unexpected crocus while shoveling snow, and was kind enough to send me this photo. He also was the first to report a crocus last year, and under the same circumstances. It seems he has his own special microclimate going on.
Be on the lookout for the first signs of spring in your gardens and neighborhoods, and upload your photos at newsday.com/springblooms.
