Crocus speciosus 'Albus'
« on: January 29, 2016, 11:51:25 AM »
Je me pose une question, pourrez-vous m'aider ?
J'ai acheté fin septembre 2015, dans une foire aux plantes, un sachet de 10 cormes de Crocus speciosus 'Albus'.
En principe, ils doivent fleurir en automne.
La première fleur s'ouvre aujourd'hui, dans la serre.
Visiblement, ce n'est pas 'Albus' ... Est-ce que c'est quand même C. speciosus ?

Fred,
Your Crocus is nothing to do with speciosus from the images you show I would suggest it is Crocus tommasianus.

ok, I'll take pictures when it will open better. I will also monitor other flowers that are not released yet.

Perhaps a labeling error for sale or a scam?  ::)

Yes, I think that by embracing thousands bulbs per year, it is possible, the error being human, but a few were mixed. The question is whether it is ten Crocus bulbs are tommasianus or just one. ...  ::)
