We never see Crocus in the wild behave quite like that- so maybe it is a combination of the sunlight as well as heat of a greenhouse?I imagine it would be detrimental in the wild- the poor bees would keep falling off!
hiMichael, you have been quiet recently. The sieberi I sent you must be flowering by now?

May be the heat but in fact, every year with full sun and 'warm january day' i get the same shape.Goblet shape is only with shade.

Does anyone know if the black stigma of chrysanthus 'Sunspot' can temporarily revert to normal orange-yellow for a season and then back to black again? One of the two corms I had from Pottertons last autumn has produced flowers with orange-yellow stigmas, and the other the expected black stigmas. Don't want to complain if it's just a temporary reversion and will have black stigmas next year.
