I had taken these two photos earlier this spring. I had planned to use them for a Wordless Wednesday post. But the best laid plans . . . as they say. Indeed, events overtook my plans and I never did post this. If flowers make you happy, then this is for you.
A crocus, and another crocus
There is an explanation for that silly caption. The truth is I don’t know if the plural of crocus is crocuses or crocii. The spell checker indicates a preference for the former wouldn’t the scientific approach lean toward Latin and the latter? Can you help? One thing for sure, the crocus on the left is not going to work today.
What's that on the lovely flower?
As you can clearly see the crocus on the left has a bug. Cough. Cough. I’ll try to make it in to work tomorrow boss. 😉 Pity these pix weren’t posted on a Wednesday. If that had happened, you would have been spared such horrible humor.
Crocus
Lovely Miss Crocus,
Announces arrival of spring,
With merry colors.
Those are beautiful! Personally I lean toward crocii just because it sounds cooler 😀
I like that. 😉 I never know the plural form, so I just make it up. It’s good to know there are others out there like me sometimes. Hee! Hee!
I just take lots of photos when I can and use them as I go along. I never really plan what I’m writing about so I just count on the photo library to nudge me most days. Well, unless something exciting is happening in my dull and boring life.
Okay. Merriam Webster says the plural of crocus is
crocuses, or crocus, or croci.
I have personally always leaned toward “croci” but if one follows the convention, M-W prefers “crocuses.”
Nice photos. I often do that– take a photo and write a “time sensitive” post, only to forget about it later. :S
