Protection
A frost broke the integrity of the petals of this crocus. The stamen remains, protected overnight in its frosted shell and now exposed to the full sun as the petals melt.
Very shallow depth of field on this, but if you look at the large size you can see hard focus on the individual grains of pollen on the leading edge of the foreground melted petal.
