Description Okay, so we have a long winter here in Germany, cold and with lots of snow. Fortunately, this weekend is a tad milder, before temperatures are going to drop again during the next week. In spite of the weather, Acis tingitana, a typical midwinter bloomer from the northwestern parts of Africa, has started flowering, at a sheltered place.

Some post-processing applied (Photoshop); full view please!

It glows! I love the focus - very dramatic. Hard to believe something so delicate can survive such harsh conditions. Well done!

Althytrion In reply to Biutz [2010-01-30 09:18:33 +0000 UTC]

Uh, Bianca, I'd like to do, but since we've got another 15 cm of snow here yesterday, I cannot find these flowers any more ...

Thank you very much!

Na ? Was ist denn das ? Du hast schon Schneeglöckchen !? Hier ist alles so trostlos was die Blumen angeht, ich gönne sie dir aber

Althytrion In reply to SpringlighT [2010-01-30 09:22:02 +0000 UTC]

Vielen Dank, Sophie!

Hm, das ist kein Schneeglöckchen aber was sehr ähnliches. Die Schneeglöckchen sind hier immer noch ziemlich begraben unterm Neuschnee, und die Acis auf dem Bild seit letzter Nacht leider auch wieder ... Hoffentlich wird's bald Frühling!

Althytrion In reply to GreenMusic [2010-01-30 12:01:33 +0000 UTC]

Hm, ich wollte es wär so, denn letzte Nacht kam wieder eine Ladung Schnee herunter ... Bei uns sind die Schneeglöckchen auch noch nicht weiter, aber meine Acis sind immer früher dran als die Schneeglöckchen.

Ganz herzlichen Dank!

We had a cold front in Hawaii too. It was 75 F but felt colder. I actually ran around in a jacket.

Oh, 75 degrees sound like paradise to me - I'd be glad if temperatures here won't drop to 10 F again.
