This week’s winner is Nadia Faisal, who snapped the above picture of some purple crocuses in the spring sunshine.

Crocuses, known as krokusar in Swedish, are one of the first spring flowers to bloom in Sweden, alongside snowdrops (snödroppar), daffodils (påskliljor) and tulips (tulpaner). Are there any more signs of spring where you live, or are you still in the depths of winter?
