And here I thought I could not grow Crocuses in Auckland. Tomorrow I will try and get a better photo of the stamens John. After months of drought, we now have autumn weather, rain and wind, very welcome but not helpful for taking photos of flowers. I also see the link now has changed, don't know why. Instead of just the photo in question it gives the whole album.
