You might think that after thousands of years of coming up too soon and getting frozen, the crocus family would have had a little sense knocked into it.

Summary

This quote suggests a mildly humorous observation about the resilience and adaptability of the crocus family. The crocus flower is known for its ability to bloom in harsh conditions, often being one of the first flowers to appear in spring. The quote implies that, given the recurring cycle of emerging too early and being affected by freezing weather, one might expect the crocus family to have learned from this experience. However, it humorously suggests that despite these challenges, the crocus family continues to persist and bloom year after year without changing its behavior.
