Examples

“The sun was up cheerily; the fresh pleasant green of spring had stolen, more like a tinted atmosphere, than in the guise of foliage, over tree and bush; field flowers and crocusses peeped from under the mossy turf.”

“In the springtime, when the deep snow has given away, crocusses and snowdrops bloom, but there is nobody there to admire their beauty.”

“The drifts of flowering snowdrops might have been matched elsewhere in Cardiff, but it is doubtful if the crocusses were, this early. Orange ones were at prime on a grassy slope and pale mauve ‘species’ crocusses, usually the first to appear, were in full spate among the slender leaf tufts.”
