Vivid Appearance Of Spring Crocus (Crocus Vernus) Stock Photography

Crocus vernus, commonly known as the spring crocus, is a perennial plant in the iris family (Iridaceae). It is native to the alpine regions of Europe and is among the earliest flowers to bloom in spring. This plant features slender, grass-like leaves and vibrant, goblet-shaped flowers that come in a range of colors including purple, white, and yellow. Each flower has three petals and three sepals that look alike, collectively known as tepals. Thriving in well-drained soil and preferring sunny to partially shaded areas, Crocus vernus is often cultivated in gardens for its vivid early blooms and its ability to naturalize in lawns and meadows.
