More Crocuses

Crocuses growing wild on the edge of the woodland trail:)

I guess the crocuses are like our bluebonnets and just grow wild. So pretty. Are the white flowers crocuses too?

I saw some like this growing in the grass in Bedford this morning. They are beautiful

@henrir Thank you for your comment Henri all these flowers are wild Crocuses, there were no native Crocuses in the UK originally, they were brought to England and naturalised in Mediaeval times (from the 5th to the 15th century) by Monks and occurs especially in Lancashire, Yorkshire around Huddersfield and Halifax. they grow in grassy places, these are now growing wild all over the place,
they do not look the same as your Texas Bluebonnets which are a type of Lupin:)

@rosiekind Thank you Rosie they are out every where now and really brighten up the grassy areas:)
