Meaning of THE CROCUS "IN - CULTIVATION"
Did you know......As one of the first flowers to bloom in spring, the large hybridized and selected "Dutch crocus" are popular with gardeners. Crocus flowers and leaves are protected from frost by a waxy cuticle; in areas where snow and frost occasionally occur in the early spring it is not uncommon to see early-flowering crocus blooming through a light late snowfall.
Most crocus species,

and hybrids should be planted in a sunny position, in gritty, well-drained soil, although a few prefer shadier sites in moist soil. Some are suitable for naturalising in grass. The corms should be planted about 3–4 cm deep; in heavy soils a quantity of sharp grit should be dug in to improve drainage.

especially C. tommasinianus and its selected forms and hybrids (such as 'Whitewell Purple' and 'Ruby Giant') seed prolifically and are ideal for naturalising. They can, however, become weeds in rock gardens, where they will often appear in the middle of choice, mat-forming alpine plants and can be difficult to remove. (source wikepidea)

I love those flowers the colors are so bright and vivid. Purple is one of my favorite colors.
It is supposed to be beautiful weather here all week. 70's and 80's for spring break. All my kids are well again and I am hoping to have a great week off with them. Have a wonderful day. :)
When I photographed water lily, I also tend to get this glow inside the flowers, almost like a little lamp. Your crocus are beautiful and I also like the first one with your shadow over the flower field.
So now of course you claim that the nicest crocus is Dutch! :-)
Hee JoAnn.
Het begint al weer echt lente te worden bij jullie. Erg fraai, die close-up van die prachtige blauw-paarse crocus. Bij ons duurt het nof even eer er weer zoveel crucussen bloeien. We lopen in het voorjaar altijd wat op achter. Groetjes, Gerard
I love to see these harbingers of spring!
Crocuses are so small and sweet. Just like spring babies. I have some in bloom now and my bulbs came from Holland!
Your post just syas spring has sprung.
A field of bright flowers...what a lovely treat!
Now that is a beautiful set of crocus
I adore your beautiful spring outfit!
I just love crocuses.Here I can only manage a few in pots as the ground is too dry and hot. In April in the Austrian Alps there were hilldide after hillside thickly covered in crocuses.
What a beauty! With this blue colour! Excellent post!
Thanks for your comments:

Maybe today will be my day to go outside and find the spring flowers, JoAnn. It's been raining for the last 4 days but today the sun is supposed to shine. I could use a good walk!
I real enjoyed seeing the opening photo.
Quite unusual and showing that all it takes for a fine photo is to pay attention to simple things, no?
Great flowers too.
Oh, I sooo loooove that pic of your shadow on the Crocus field!
Prachtige kleuren, JoAnn! Crocussen zijn heel mooie lente boden!
Walking through a field of crocuses! I envy you.
To say it in three words: "It is SPRING!!!" :-)
So yes I see your crocus. :)
They are delicate and such a welcome sight after a long hard winter.
Ohh, gorgeous flowers. Love your I!
Stunning shots of the crocuses, Joann! All are in bloom here, but it's too cold still for the daffodils and tulips, but hopefully soon!
An impressive post. Spring definitely on the way.
loved the macro of the crocus and your shadow...
have a wonderful week.

I do love this post. The indigo crocus and carpet of spring are just lovely. Nice post JoAnn.
I have always wanted to have crocuses in my yard like that. I totally love the effect on the large crocus photo. Great job.
Very stunning pictures this week. Like always.
I saw the first crocus of spring this past weekend outside my daughter and son-in-law's house. This week spring has definitely been nudging winter aside, but at out house we only have snow drops.
All four crocus shots are wonderful. You caught beautiful light in the last two, and the shadow shot is stunning. Well seen! Are you using any tone-mapping or high dynamic range software to catch all the highlights?
These are beautiful pictures. I'm fascinated by the crocus and the colors you've captured here!
Thanks for reacting:

Not yet Joann not yet, cannot smell the flowers yet, we still have the snow melting, lol. Your flower pictures are amazing, makes me even more energized for the spring. Anna :)
I love how the purple really shows up in the flowers that are covered by your shadow! Beautiful photos.
I love crocuses. They are always so cheerful at a time when we really need cheering! Your first photo is great fun!
