Crocuses

The crocuses have started flowering in the warm weather.

As one of the first flowers of spring, the bees and flies and other insects are always attracted to the crocuses. This fly, with its pale head and wide spread eyes was a new one to me.

I wonder how long the crocuses will last in the city. They are not very tolerant of disturbance and the river bank sees more and more people and dogs. And the authorities are mowing more and more of what used to be a relatively natural area. It will be sad to see them go.
