Very nice Shelley, I like them all. They are very different than the crocuses around me.

Those are anemones, not crocuses (crocii?). A quick trip to Google leads me to believe that it's Pulsatilla Nigricans or Pulsatilla Multifida.

In any case, those are some lovely shots!

Hi Shelley,

These are lovely shots. I agree they are anemones. The centers and the fuzzy stems give them away. Thanks for sharing.

Hello Shelley, looking at #1 and #3 as favs. I like the frilly foilage underneath, seems to be fingertips presenting up the flower to show. Simply lovely #3

Very nice images! Unfortunately the thing that stuck out a bit much was the purple border on 1,2, and 3. It's great and it ties it all together so well. I just think if you made the thicker border a couple points thinner that it'd help. #3 is just right with its subtlety. Keep up the good work!

I'm not into flowers but i like these, specially #3! the contrast between the dull brown at the botom and vivid colour is quite nice.

Another look at ID on this one: Pasqueflower (anemone patens) Buttercup Family (Ranunculaceae)

Prairie Crocus is another name for Pasque flower. Beautiful light on these. Great job.

Thanks Tim... around here they are referred to as prairie crocus, or spring crocus(also called pasque flower). A bit confusing.

#3 works really well, Shelley! Sometimes less detail is more, and I think the other shots are less compelling in not having blurred the BG and FG to focus the eye on the main subject. That's why the third shot really works!
