Vertical close up of lots of bright purple crocuses in full bloom


Vertical close up of lots of bright purple crocuses in full bloom in the spring sunshine. The crocus is a hardy flowering perennial found in a wide range of habitats, including woodland, scrub and meadows. Their cup-shaped, solitary, salverform flowers taper off into a narrow tube. They vary in colour however lilac, mauve, yellow and white are predominant. All crocuses typically have three stamens and the spice saffron is obtained from the stigmas of the Crocus sativus which is an autumn-blooming species.
