From old Crocus to ID pages ...
A member of our Northumberland group has asked me to see if anyone here can help ID this crocus purchased as C. zonatus. When I checked in the Ruksans tome, it is a synonym for C. kotschyanus ssp kotschyanus. But is this that bulb please?
Most likely some of speciosus group, but could be cancellatus, too. Must to see corm.
Many thanks Janis, I will tell her we need to see the corm before we can confirm what it is.
Definitely speciosus .... C zonatus of trade is usually virused and very shy flowering.
Now, new from Alison McCormick
