The first day of quarantine vacations – life in the gardens continues. The gardens of the Russian Museum are closed to visitors, but online they are available. Crocuses bloom on the lawns of the Summer Garden.

In the photo, golden crocus (Crocus chrysanthus). There has already been a publication about these plants in our group, although you can write about flowers endlessly.

By the way, the stigmas of the pestles of this crocus were used as a substitute for real saffron. And according to scientists, saffron is a good remedy for depression.

Let walks through the gardens be impossible, but look at these flowers. And let panic, hopelessness and despondency leave you.
After all, you can walk and looking out the window, as domestic cats do. True, they are sitting on open windows.
