Crocus December

This morning a gift was waiting for me.

We seem to have had the same Santa visiting us, Yann

Early spring, Luc and Yann.  Another lovely species with black anthers.  Santa seems to have forgotten about me.  My C. hittiticus is way behind.

Today it's not the riviera climate but more Ural one

  And there we have, in two "simple" photos, just why it's such a joy to be a croconut!

Great shots of two beautiful crocus Steve.  You are way ahead with the Crocus imperati.  Here nothing is moving with the severe cold spell we are getting.

Well not exactly December but a pic of C. boryi that may be of interest.  A friend shot it in Greece late October/ early November this year.  The photo arrived with her Christmas greeting!
