Ouch. I'm extremely frugal but even i would just buy new crocus :) The thought of finding all the crocus amongst the daffodils gives me a headache!

What kind of lawn do you have? Not everyone likes to mow around the crocus foliage until it's ready to die down. Of course if you've got a warm season grass it's not as big a deal waiting.

Heh . I'm thinking about making some clumps here and there or I might just drop them individual.

Finding them during late spring if not late fall for me is pretty easy. The leaves on the crocus are super long in spring, so I can literally trace them back to it's orgination. In the same bed, annuals get planted and come late fall, annuals get removed and ornamental kale get's planted. In my always digging around in this area, anywhere where I make a hole to plant something, for sure, I will have at least a few crocus bulbs in my hand as well.

I may not get -all- of them, but locating them is not that bad
