David, no cake I'm afraid unless someone else wants to fill in. I'm also deeply ashamed at having missed Maggi's 5000th but I'm trying to avoid cakes and similar things at present, trying to lose some weight before I go to Australia in Sept or no-one there will recognize me. So Maggi, I'd like a new title please, when you have time to think about it.

The C. o. Valerie Finnis were $3 (slightly over 1GDP) each. I don't know why I didn't get half a doz instead of just the one. I will do, next summer. Actually, now I think about it, I DID get more than one. I ordered 3 and they must have arrived or I'd have noticed when I potted them. The other two must still be coming. Not going out to look, it's snowing heavily today.

here are some Crocus that I've also posted on the SH thread.
C.cancellatus ssp mazzaricus buds

C. pulchellus grown from NARGS Seedex 2003, possibly collected or donated by Erich Pasche.
68435-1
C. niveus (white)
68437-2
C.ochroleucus, grown from seed from Marcus Harvey (Hillview Rare Plants, Tasmania)
68439-3
The slim bud of what I bought as c. speciosus albus, but which I think is C. pulchellus albus
68441-4
cheers
fermi
