These little beauties appeared in my front garden in early February much to my surprise. Yes, I did plant them last autumn, but I had no idea that they flower quite so early.

They are indeed spring beauties Nina...they stand out so well against that dark stone as a backdrop.The green moss and crumpled leaves convey a wonderful atmosphere.

Very crisp, clear and beautiful and the contrast is great agains the lovely stone at the back. The early flowers bring such joy after cold winter months.

Wow! I really wonder how you manage to get that kind of shot. The DOF is just perfect and the colors are so warm. It's amazing how you could capture the brown leaves so well.

Very sharp photo,the colors are beautiful and the DOF makes the image jump out at you. Does anyone know what kind of flower these are?

This is a wonderful composition. Not only are the iris beautiful, but all the surrounding area. Very well taken, Nina.

Very nice composition. I like the colors. The flower (dwarf iris) is very sharp and beautiful.

Crackling crisp colors and great focus. What's more...you're probably one in 10,000 English-speaking persons who knows, what in God's name, a "harbinger" is!

Si beau que je dois le dire en français. Une photo superbe, nette comme j'en ai rarement vue, de plus l'iris est une de mes fleurs préférées. Une présentation presque surréaliste.

Very, very beautiful! So sharp and the color is excellent. Very well done!

Nina this is excellent. I like the two identical flowers, one being sharp and crisp the other dropping out of the depth of focus. The stone, with it's almost soft texture and mossy covering sets the blue off brilliantly.

Outstanding colours and clarity. It would be nice if u could submit the f stop value and the shutter speed.

These are so beautiful, Nina! I love the flowers, I love colors, the simplicity. I miss having a garden so much!

As I see, you like flower theme... Here you have good, clear macro shot.
For me wonderful moment is - old and new together (I mean old leaves and new flowers...) Like death and birth...
Thanks for great photo!

Fascinating macro closeup. Beautiful composition and blurred background. The flowers and the plants seem isolated but very beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
