white stripes

crocus focus, hocus pocus!  ever since I was a youngster, nothing made me happier about spring than noticing the little pockets of crocuses popping up in patches of grass everywhere. 

this photo was taken at a local cemetary. 

how to know if a little patch of green grassy stuff will yield pretty purple buds?

"the grass-like, ensiform lead shows a white central stripe along the leaf axis"  that, my friends, is a surefire sign of a future crocus!!
