This home in the 400 block of Washington Avenue features one of the best crocus displays in the area. It's an annual tradition that Chronicle photographers watch for. Generally, the plants end up with snow on them, and this weekend's forecast may well prove that to be true again this year. Photo by Bruce Bishop.
