Help with crossword please !!

Hi all gardening enthusiasts, trying to solve a crossword in a gardening magazine and the two answers are driving me mad

Both answers have a connection with "SPRING"

1. S - O - F - A - E

2. B - A - T -

Of course now Ive put this on here I shall solve it !!

 

Snowflake

 

Fab, thanks Ziggy :yess:

 

beauty

 

I had just come up with "bracts" but dont see that has anything to do with spring ??

think beauty is the better option

 

No, you could be right there Lililoon. Bracts opening in spring

 

I have another one for you Ziggy, not getting anywhere with this !!

PHOLADES - unscramble to reveal the name of a rhizomatous perenial with white or yellow star shaped flowers - Im guessing Im just suffering from a mental bloke and its going to be very obvious !!

 

Asphodel

 

dont you just hate it when that happeneds :lolpoint:

 

Well done Kaz you spotted my deliberate (lot of coughing here !!) mistake

 

i thought it was only me that made mistakes like that, i do it all the time and would never usually comment at anyone doing it but yours is FUNNY

 

Well its had me chuckling since your comment as would never have noticed - its certainly FUNNY

 

I didn't realise that was a typo, I thought Lililoon was refering to me messing up the crossword.
