So, our assumption is that the crocus flowers you are talking about are the spring blooming variety that already flowered earlier this year. There are fall blooming varieties as well, but them coming up at this point of the season would not be abnormal.
It is rather unusual for crocuses to emerge a second time in a season given they need to experience an extended period of cold weather in order to bloom.
Since they did not bloom last year, is there a chance that it is in fact something else emerging (like a late-season weed) in the same area? Regardless, you can wait for them to die back and remove later in the season so the area is nice and tidy for when the crocuses come back in the spring.
Hi Vickie,

Hope this helps!
