Description

I had never heard of an autumnn crocus until someone here mentioned them. (I think it was Chris.) Then one day last September, shortly after she told me about them, I saw these. Isn't it funny, how that happens? You learn something new, and suddenly it's everywhere!

gorgeously clear and exciting capture. The postwork is fabulous too giving this a really dramatic feel. I haven't seen these, I don't think... I'll have to watch for them. Are they cultivated or wild?

Gorgeous colors and presentation, Tara. We should layer a few hundred of these into my snowy winter shots. :-)

Ah, these sweet little flowers, though I also didn't know there were any that come up in the fall. I always think of them as the first color to pop up just about this time of year. I love the purple against the black background, really makes the color come alive!!

Terrific on that background! Some of the catalogues for 'non gardeners' call them 'Naked Ladies' for the lack of leaves, and did you know they'll flower sitting on a shelf without soil. probably not a second year, though!

Very lovely light and detail, and the flowers just pop with that black background. I never heard of a fall crocus either! Thanks, I learned something today. :)
