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.”
