These Autumn Crocuses seemed to spring up suddenly when I wasn't looking. Near some mailboxes toward the western end of Jackson Street, a spot I pass frequently, I didn't notice when the leaves arrived, then died back. Now here is a beautiful big cluster of blossoms. They should be around at least a week or so. Click on this photo for a closer look.
This Crocus resembles a Crocus from which we get saffron, but it is deadly poisonous. Nevertheless, it is a popular ornamental at this time of year. Last year around this time, there were several small bunches in this general area, but this year there's just one large bunch. Interesting.
