Ballet Dancers

This image makes me think of ballet dancers, pirouetting delicately around each other.  An appropriate thought as today is the Birthday of my Aunt Christine who in her youth was a ballet dancer of great talent. 

Crocus sieberi ssp sublimis featured a few days ago.  Here is another form of it. This one has darker flowers with delicate veins showing in the petals.  The subtle variations that arise when plants are raised from seed fascinates me.  "Doesn't take much to keep him amused" I hear you say :-)
