ohhhh are these crocus'? I soooo love them...you will have to come back and post another on your profile so I can see them in full bloom...they just don't exist here in Florida...oh...the picture...really like your colors and the dullness of the brown...makes the flowers stand out against the dullness...very nice

I think it would have been better if cropped tighter on the flowers and cut out some of the leaves to the left.
