Always curious. Mostly listening. Occasional gift links. Also mediocre nature photos captured on my phone. If I post a photo, I took it.

How sweet to see a fall-blooming crocus open today #bloomscrolling #flowersonfriday
Against dry brown leaves purple crocus blossom with, I think, red and yellow filaments and anthers. I'm breaking into a cold sweat trying to remember flower anatomy. At least I tried.
