however the weather was cloudy and rainy during this weekend:

CJ, this is a darker version, my monitor is may be differently calibrated. Anyway, the crocuses now are much more and I may exchange this photo with a more colourful version. The weather is still dark, rainy and cloudy and it is not possible to take better photo in a rainy morning.

The extreme use of DOF fading away makes this shot for me. -COAmature

I like this composition much better Roumen. Did you have a little darker colored version? A little less bright edit might make the purple crocus buds stand out even more. CJ

Thank you Henry, Sue, Brent,
The flowers are Dutch crocuses indeed. They pop up on the area of Central Station in The Hague every year - starting from the middle of February till the middle of March. In the morning mist they look gorgeous - it is challenging to take a good photo though. More colourful example is given in the Exhibition section of this challenge.

Nicely done Roumen, so these are tulips coming up?

Beautiful, and the BG works well with it also.

Thank you SueAnne, Photogenix,
Updated the image with a more close look. It is almost spring here. In one week there will be a lot of spring flowers. I may need to upload more spring photos there.
