Crocus

Uploaded: March 16, 2013

Description

Revisited and reworked an old image this morning. I had these crocus for 15 years, and then last fall some critter decided to dig up and steal them ALL. I had a a huge cluster of them by the house... so sad.

So sorry to hear your flowers were lost, Claudia
I've had that happen with flowers, bushes and trees.
This photo is certainly beautiful.
The colors, light, details and DoF are superb #1519403

They're beautiful, Claudia. I'm so sorry that you lost them. You sure do have a lot of flower-destroying animals to contend with! #10611853

Love the colors and DOF. So beautiful. I have to spray mine every few days in the Spring/Summer to keep the animals away. #10611935

Years ago, we had planted 500 tulips. The deer thought they were dessert. They were pulling them out by the bulbs. What a feast. #10612170

The light is really beautiful on these crocus, Claudia! I love those flowers! I have a small grouping in the front and they've been coming up for years and are still ok, except I think a few went by the wayside. The yellow ones which are the first to open, did so a few days ago but then it turned cold so I don't know if they'll open anymore this season. The purple and purple and white stripped haven't opened yet and hopefully they'll be ok. #10612382
