[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Crocus is a genus of perennial flowering plants, native to a large area from coastal and subalpine areas of central and southern Europe (including the islands of the Aegean), North Africa and the Middle East, across Central Asia to western China.

The genus Crocus is placed botanically in the iris family (Iridaceae). The plants grow from corms and are mainly hardy perennials, and are found a wide range of habitats, including woodland, scrub and meadows.

There are about eighty species of crocus (of which approximately 30 are cultivated). Their cup-shaped, solitary, salverform flowers taper off into a narrow tube. Their color varies enormously, although lilac, mauve, yellow and white are predominant. The grass-like, ensiform leaf shows generally a white central stripe along the leaf axis. The leaf margin is entire. All crocuses typically have three stamens.

Hello Lenka,
Those flowers always amazed me as they can grow in the snow :) I like details you caught in a good composition and DOF. Maybe I would have reduced a little this harsh lightning but it is a matter of personal taste and your picture is very nice anyway :) Well done and thanks,
Claudine

nice, but not crocus, it is Colchicum (look at the 6 anthers, unlike 3 in Crocus). Ori

bonjour lenka
legerement OE par endroit malgrés le diaphragme reglé tres fermé,je pense que vous auriez du diminuer la sensibilité.en revanche la netteté est parfaite.
