Such a gorgeous capture of these crocus! One of my favorite flowers because it is the first flower to come up in my garden after a long, dark, cold winter! Hope that Spring is just around the corner. And the little crocus are so strong that they pop up through leaves or snow! Love that little lone yellow one in the mist of all the purple ones. L/F

Greetings and salutations to beautiful Deborah, our honorable queen of the kingdom of Long Island, I thank you, dear, for the sweet surprise of your visit to my gallery. I agree with you about crocus flowers. They're such lovely harbingers of spring. Here in Colorado high country, between mid December and mid February, our overnight low can easily be anywhere between zero and 20 belwo. Then, when crocus flowers pop up around the last week of February or early March, they remind us that spring is just around the corner. I thank you, my lady, for keeping in touch. Hope to see your lovely face in my gallery again. Take care.

One of the spices I use a lot in cooking is saffron. It comes from the crocus flower. What a gorgeous shade of magenta. Nice work, Bijan!

Thank you, James for featuring this image in the group FOREVER GALLERY.COM. We're in the dead of Winter right now; but Spring is in my heart. In just 2 months or so around the 3rd week of February, we'll see crocus flowers popping up and reminding us that Spring is around the corner.

I'm delighted to know that. I love crocus flowers. They bring me a lot of joy year after year because they are the harbinger of Spring. In lower elevations here in Colorado, they begin to bloom around the third week of February, about a month before the official end of Winter on March 20th.
