Whoopee!  Love the view from the mountain top and the old Roman road....the early flowerings look wonderful against the old dry landscape - looking forward to more  :D

More Crocus tauricus







I didn't have enough time to make images so you can see here only typical colour. But when you go through the crocus meadow you could see all kinds - white, very dark, reticular, etc..

Olga

Thank you for posting atmospheric photos from the Crimea.

The Crocus tauricus are very interesting, especially if you have only captured some of the variability.
