Today's puzzle from Italy was another that I found when asking myself if I could find a puzzle with a particular theme: the crocus. Before moving into this house 12 years ago, I only knew the crocus as one of the first-blooming flowers of spring. When I saw some blooming outside our front door in mid-September, I had to laugh and shake my head at what I thought were some very confused little blossoms. Now I have to laugh and shake my head at myself ... every year when these little guys pop up, they surprise me again. You'd think at some point I would remember and start to watch for them when the days start getting shorter, the nights and mornings take on a chill, and the leaves begin turning to their autumn reds and golds. But I saw one this morning, and it had caught me off guard again:
Il Crocus criptico
Tomorrow we'll ...
