Cotoneaster in blue vase

I've been working on a lot of still-lifes lately. Concentrating on getting the light just so. Here's one from last evening.

Colchicum in water

Common name: Autumn Crocus.

It's a fall flowering crocus that was in bloom a couple of weeks ago. I couldn't get a shot of it in situ as the flowers were all flopped under a very scruffy shrub. Louise okay'ed snipping a couple of stems, so I headed into The Studio.
