crocuses

Cheating a bit for the violet, but I like them and I want to include them - crocuses that are on the ground in the avenue of plane trees planted for Queen Victoria's Jubilee visit (Gold or Diamond) with the Methodist Church behind, and a bit of one of the Plane boles, I'm using this as another colour shot for the Get Pushed challenge http://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/21172/get-pushed-83-monday-feb-17-to-sunday-feb-23 where my partner Blair Howard, @blahowd has challenged me to:
"Seeing it's such a dark and dull time of the year, I would like you to pick a nice bright colour and fill the frame using only that colour. Good Luck!!!"

This is the seventh colour of the rainbow. Sorry Blair.

Thank you for looking, you are all wonderful.

@blahowd - number 7 is a bit of a cheat, I'm afraid (couldn't get the shot I wanted of a crocus open to the sunshine)

Love the colors, and the focus is pin sharp. but your suppose to fill the frame. Can you get in a bit tighter. Lovely shot though.

@blahowd hmmph - if you look at this week the whole week is full of colour and meets your challenge with a rainbow range of colours - because I was so irritated at being challenged to shoot in colour in the middle of a black and white challenge month. Tuesday and Sunday are the only two that don't fill the frame

That colour is just gorgeous. What a pity they didn't play along and open up!

What a beautiful color! How huge are they? They seem to be popping out of their stems.

@altadc sorry - I meant to come back and say - crocuses are small, about 2 inches / 5 or 6 cm tall, the flowers are about an inch / 2-3cm long
