Crocus

I was surprised to see these little flowers at the side of the road at this time of year. I think its mixed up. LOL They are a spring flower.

I guess they never got the memo.

So lovely - could they be the Autumn crocus variety?

@beryl Thank you Beryl. I didn't know there was an autumn crocus variety. I'll have to look it up.

Delightful

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Uh oh- definitely a bit confused! But I have seen them do that in my garden too. I think it has to do with when the bulb was planted- but that could be my imagination at work! Good catch.

[Susan Klassen]

Beautiful colour and capture!

[Carole Sandford]

Poor confused flowers!

[KoalaGardens🐨]

There are autumn crocuses too! They’re actually from a different plant family but they look very similar.
Lovely shot of these little beauties.

[Rick]

Great find and capture.

[Dorothy]

There re also autumn crocus. Beautiful find.

[Shutterbug]

They are also among the first spring flowers here….but certainly too early. Beautiful capture of the details and colors.

[eDorre]

Such a pretty color. Good eye

[Lois]

Cute little crocus is all mixed up!

[haskar]

Ha! Ha! These flowers are frauds. I was fooled for the first time too. Now I know that it is Colchicum autumnale, commonly known as autumn crocus. Lovely shot.

[Dione Giorgio]

Great find and beautiful shot. I think this has been a crazy year for the plants. A zinnia in my garden seeded itself at the end, almost, of Summer and now it has started to bloom.

[Neil]

Pretty flowers.

[Wylie]

well its spring here!

[Michelle]

Strange, but a beautiful find
