Bright yellow crocuses push their way through the dead leaves of a tree in a front yard at the corner of Benbow Avenue and Clawson Street in Alton Tuesday. The small crocus, a member of the iris family with 90 different species, is traditionally one of the first perennials to bloom each year and another sign that spring is just around the corner.
