There is usually a nice display of crocuses of various colours in Deans Park, on the north side of York Minster, though when I took this shot just over a week ago they had not reached their best, so another visit is needed quite soon.
It was interesting to note that the different colours seem to be developing at different rates. These white / purple ones were the most advanced. Though it is true to say that they were all developing much earlier than usual this year.
How delightful to see them with that delicate purple colour and with the rain drops hanging on to the petals.! Fav. I have noticed that the colour effects the blooming time of the flower with my gladioli. The purple ones open much earlier than the red ones.
Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.
I always think that once crocuses are in flower, Spring has arrived, although with their earlier appearance this year that might prove a premature assumption!
I'm not really into getting low down for photos now - at my age I might never get up again! These crocuses were on a bank in Deans Park, and a footpath runs along the bottom of the bank which gives a nice low pov of the flowers.
