Spring is in the air! 💜 Right now the whole areas, like the one in Kolochava, Zakarpattia region (the westernmost one in Ukraine), turned violet thanks to blooming crocuses.
Do you know, by the way, what kind of practical use these flowers have?

Absolutely beautiful - thank you for sharing. Culinary use from stamens providing saffron?

Actually some ancients thought saffron improved vision and made eyes bluer. The improved vision seem to be possible.

If they're the right variety that is where Saffon comes from, which is worth a lot of money.

😮wow stunning. I've never seen such a large area like that completely covered. And all natural as well.

Spring crocus won’t poison you. Maybe some GI upset. Autumn crocus is poisonous but you have to eat a lot.
Hopefully won’t need this knowledge in fall

I think I may well visit my local park tomorrow, a small, but wonderful Victorian space that has lots of spring flowers. The weather forecast is good, so hopefully I'll get some nice photos, and post them on Twitter.
