Spring crocuses are known for their unique symbolic meaning, as these special plants bloom during cold weather. Their flower represents rebirth, joy, hope, and fresh beginnings.
Emerging from bulb-like structures called corms, crocuses are low-growing perennial flowering plants from the iris family that come back year after year for at least five years growing from one corm. In many regions, crocus flowers mark the arrival of spring. These early bloomers can often be seen peeking up through the snow.
Deer usually pass over them, but rodents like squirrels, chipmunks, and mice consider crocuses a tasty snack. Bloom colors on the cup-shaped flowers include mauve, lavender, and yellow. There are over 80 crocus species.
Spring crocuses are toxic to pets.
