Some photos of Crocus vernus which grow near my garden in the Austrian Alps. The photos are taken today.

Hi Mark,
I have to drive 7 km to see that. My cottage, where I live at the weekends, is a little nearer to the mountains (Höllengebirge). But I live in Linz, this town is 80 km far away.

Thanks Luc. But, just looking back at previous posts in this thread, I think my two vernus labels have been reversed! No doubt the experts will correct me......

I would love to be able to drive/walk the short distance of 7km/5 miles to see them

How nice, Dirk. Super to see such a spread of a block of colour.
 You have a beautiful daughter. I believe she is deep in thought......"Hmmm, a few yellow ones might be nice?"
