Crocus

363 - A few days ago I saw a shot of a crocus on our local newspaper website, so the search began to find a crocus that I could get a shot of. Most are not yet in bloom, but this solitary specimen was in Dean's Park, on the north side of York Minster. I loved it's variegated petals.

Well worth the search, beautiful shot!

Gorgeous shot Ian!

Beautiful shot and great DOF. Interesting reflection on the N/S divide - there are quite a number of crocuses about down South.

[Ruth Moucharafieh]

Oh superb crocus Ian!

[Hazel A]

Great that you found one in bloom. Lovely macro shot. You have even caught the pollen spilling out onto the petals.
Looks like you had a nice day there yesterday. It was lovely up here yesterday but we are back to gloom and cold again today

Thank you all for your kind thoughts and comments. I am pleased with this shot - it's probably one of the best flower shots in my project, in my opinion.
