A Floral Image | A Line of Crocuses

Posted on March 29, 2011 under Fine Art, Natures Detail, Photography | 75 Views

Three Purple Crocuses standing in a line on the forest floor backlit by the sun.

Well it appears as if March is the month of the Purple Crocus, atleast according to this blog. This is the 3rd (here & here) image I have posted and I have in fact published 5 to my portfolio. I mentioned earlier that these flowers, along with Tulips mark the beginning of Spring for me.

This image was taken not in the botanical gardens as the previous images were but in Mount Usher Gardens in Wicklow. If there could be a polar opposite of the manicured gardens in Powerscourt, Mount Usher Gardens would be it. They are an almost wild and unkempt serious of spaces that can only be described as gardens in its loosest form. However that’s not to take away from them as it is this wilderness that provides them with their own charm.

This is really beautiful, John. I like the crocuses growing wildly in a grass and I’m sad that I wasn’t able to take photo of some this year as they are already blooming out and there’s strong wind every day

Thanks Tomas. I hope the wind dampens down for a while so you can shoot them before they’re gone/
