February 24. Autumn Crocus

(Unrelated to the spring Crocus in Europe.)
It is the first day of Autumn on Thursday March 1st. Every year without fail,
whatever the temperature, (35°C today) these bulbs flower right at the end of summer.
They pop up overnight, without leaves.

If it is not temperature, search for a calendar in the area - even a burried one. That must be it. Superb rendering of the textures of the petals.
