Mercurial March.

So just yesterday I was walking around Portland taking note of all the dewdrops and crocuses (or is it croci?) pushing through the soil and the magnolia blooms just barely bursting from their fuzzy pods. Then I woke to this.

Snow dust on the rooftops. She's a fickle friend, this Miss March.

Your confusion is mirrored down here, my friend, although I don't have the eloquence to say so. Ours, however, is a more milder So Cal version, but confusing to us nonetheless. Have faith!

I believe it is crocus. (The way deer is always deer and fish is always fish.) We once discussed this at length at my last job. :-)

(Wikipedia says crocuses is okay.)
