They Are Everywhere

 

Crocus in Scotland

Crocus in Scotland

You know Spring is here when you see the Crocuses. What is the plural of Crocus? Crocuses or Croci? These are the purple and white ones.

  3. I was always told that the plural of crocus is croci but I think it's fine to use either croci or crocuses.
    Whatever, the correct terminology, there's no doubt the ones in your two photographs look beautiful.

    All the best Jan

  10. They are beautiful! I think the correct name is croci, but everyone calls them crocuses, so I would have thought that is correct too.
