Narcissus jonquilla. Of course these delicate little jonquils (each bloom is about 1" diameter) are really Spring flowers but no one told the ones in my garden and they have decided to bloom now, despite the cold. Their scent is heavenly. Taken today with Canon 450D. Your comments are very welcome and appreciated.

Perhaps that means you will have an early spring - sometimes nature knows more than we do I believe. I like how you captured the iridescence of the petals

Excellent contrast of color, Lyn I think that is really special that they have bloomed in their off season. Tigs♥ =^..^=
