Hear me
Update: Thanks to @dpalamino from Twitter I’ve learned this flower is a crocus. Here’s another shot from yesterday’s brief photo session. Bonus points if anyone can identify this flower for me. Onward with the black and white binge—I knew straight away I’d at least have to give this a look sans color. To that end, I needed…

They put off a strong odor with a hint of skunk, but arrange themselves in the most wonderful spiral array.…
