I visited a friend's garden today and found myself irresistibly drawn to flowers of my favourite colour. I have made a small series of 6 - I hope you enjoy them :) To start - Autumn Crocus. . . Panasonic DMC-FZ7. . . . . Thank you for viewing, comments most welcome and always appreciated.

A stunning shot, Eve, and straight to my HD! Your comp on this is great, I especially like the way one petal crosses over like a banner in the top left corner. Your simple frame completes it perfectly.

Really, a crocus that blooms in the fall! I had no idea. This is just so beautiful in every way, but I never would have guessed it was a crocus. Wonderful job on this, Eve.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

Well, I guess since you live in the southern hemisphere, then you would have crocus in the fall...do you have them in the spring too? These are lovely and I always look forward to your flower pics, Eve...you know that :)

Thanks everyone for your comments.To answer PJ's question, yes we do have crocus in the Spring as well. This one is of the Colchicum Autumnale variety and I believe is called Colchicum Waterlily.
