I love the stark contrast of the white edges of the petals against the rich, inner burgundy, and the way they fold into each other makes the flowers looks elegant and complete.

Crocus
One of the first flowers to bloom in early spring are these pretty crocuses (or croci) which can be found growing in woodland areas, bringing a carpet of colour to the landscape. The bright purple petals with sparks of yellow peeking out always bring me cheer on a dull cold day.

Caught snapping
My sister and I went to a wedding recently and when we went for a walk I saw these pretty flowers that I just had to photograph. Little did I know that I was also being snapped!

Violet stalk
I really like the violet ‘bulbs’ of this flower which look like they could burst open at any time. I also like how the stalk growing tall and straight has a violet hue to match
Focus on the edge
I fancied posting a pic of something bright and colourful today, especially as we are having cloudy, grey days in London at the moment. I really like this photo of a tulip and how the vivid purple petals are in sharp focus, up close to the lens, with a softer focus on the bright green leaves in the background, adding a splash of color. The white space makes the green and purple stand out in contrast making for a simple yet striking image.
