Family = Iridaceae
The crocus is old. On the island of Santorini, in the ruins of Akrotiri, wall paintings were found showing the harvest of crocus stamens that date back to c. 1600 BCE [the Bronze Age]. It is mentioned in the Song of Solomon from 3,000 years ago. Ancient Sanskrit used the letters KRK which became 'crocus' in Latin.
The crocuses are pale purple in colour from which saffron [fr. the Arabic za'faran]. It has been claimed that, ounce for ounce, saffron is more valuable than gold: 1 ounce of saffron requires 4,000 stigmas [or 75,000 blossoms - 225,000 stigmas, harvested by hand - to produce a single pound [.05kg].

FEMININE SOFTNESS, That's what this lovely image reminds me of. Crocus has a special place in my heart. It is the harbinger of Spring. Year after year, when I see the first crocus blooming around the third week of February in lower elevation (6000 feet or lower,) I know the worst of Winter is over : no more 26 below zero for overnight low.

Glenn DiPaola
Beautifully done, as usual. Two minor shapes caught my eye. That wonderful little bit of curve in the upper right and the subtle, singular green in the opposite corner. Great details to place in the frame. L/F
Connie Handscomb replied:
Good eye, Glenn! I felt I had to leave them in to let the viewer know it was one of many ... if I took out the top right, the one chunky piece left would have looked too odd, unbalanced. Not the easiest flower to capture, being so close to the ground! I'm so grateful to you for your comments; thank you, best to you today!;))
