This tiny crocus is smaller than my thumb, but it's always our 1st flower of spring. It's a naturalized plant of unknown origin, growing in a spot between our driveway and the line of Cedar trees along the property line. I have seen it flowering as early as Feb. 16 & this (Mar. 10th) is as late as it's been. As can be seen in the photo, my "lawn" is more of a meadow, full of cinquefoil, violets, dandelions, plantain, buttercups, etc.
