He&#8217;s a carpenter and straight lines are orderly and the way things ought to be.  He doesn&#8217;t get the idea of <em>naturalization<\/em>.  That&#8217;s ok though, because the crocuses multiply and they <em>do<\/em> understand naturalization, so they come up in little groups instead of lines.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1009\" title=\"crocus3\" src=\"http:\/\/dlynz.com\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/crocus3.jpg\" alt=\"crocus3\" width=\"575\" height=\"341\" srcset=\"http:\/\/dlynz.com\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/crocus3.jpg 575w, http:\/\/dlynz.com\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/crocus3-300x177.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 575px) 100vw, 575px\" \/>Right now there are just some tiny leaf tips poking up through the snow.
