Crocus

They do,Paul..it's a beauty...

I love the colour - such a bright orange stamen against the striking dark purple petals. Fab colour combination!:o)

Thanks Tracey. These are always the first thing to bloom after a long horrid winter and what a welcomed splash of big color they are. I love the color combo too. This patch is at least 20 years old and has been divided several times. You just can't have too many of them. :)
