This may be my favorite color moment of the entire autumn display: Crocus pulchellus amid leaves from Acer pseudosieboldianum. The flowers are much more delicately colored and more fragile looking than they appear in the photo. They would look like they were done when it got cloudy and cold and then stand upright and open again in the warm sun. A pricey bulb but worth every penny.

Gorgeous combination! Maybe I should try to squeeze some of these in somewhere.

Love those blue crocus and blood red leaves.

Especially since that is a combo that had not occurred to me.
