I almost overlooked it. It's tucked in at the base of the south face of a large boulder in the Rock Garden. A perfect location for solar heating to get a head start on his little crocusey friends.
Ah, but look. There are some crocusey friends to his left, two of them.
I'm thinking Crocus tommasinanus.
Here's the Yucca again which I photographed a few weeks ago. I like how the leaves capture the light.
The Witchhazels I also photographed a month ago are now fading, but still colorful.
Just starting to come into their own are the heaths in the Rock Garden. I look forward to watching them progress over the new few months.

Keep hope alive!!!
Walking by the new trees on Cortelyou revealed little shoots coming up. Our work is soon to be realized.
wonderful photos! gorgeous! should we be worried about the cold coming back and killing the shoots? if not, should we be worrying about mosquitoes and building bat houses?
brenda: And now I see your snowdrops are blooming!
peregrine: I've been keeping an eye on them as well. And removing the bags of trash when I find them in the tree pits. At least let them bloom!
anon: These early-blooming plants are cold-adapted and unharmed by freeze/thaw cycles. The cold helps the flowers last longer! And I'm always in favor of bats and their houses.
