Crocuses

a carpet of crocuses
across the park.

The photo is actually from last year, but that's how the crocuses are looking in The Meadows, Edinburgh, just now!

  2. Oh wow! I just love the purple ones. Mine are just coming out and they always remind me of old fashioned purple humbug sweets. I shall post mine when they are a bit further out. Lovely shot.

  17. They are very lovely. To me, they look as if they were just placed there on the grass randomly.

  18. Beautiful flowers are writing. I wish we had crocuses by now but we're still getting snow. Sometime in March we'll get our first snowdrops.
