In this amazing shot of Crocus chrysanthus, the most striking feature is that the flower has shed its protective shield, clearly visible at its base. This reveals an intriguing comparison to the way a snake sheds its skin. The flower itself boasts a beautiful metallic purple-blue color, shimmering with depth and richness. It stands exposed, with its vibrant hues contrasting beautifully against the fresh greenery around it, as if it’s been liberated from its protective layer, ready to bloom fully.
