Crocus March

[zvone]

Hi!

Spring is here!







Best Regards!  zvone

[Tim Ingram]

Crocus herbertii flowering on a raised bed made for trilliums and the like - such a remarkable colour and one of the few crocuses we have managed to grow whilst the garden paid dues to the local rabbits.

Zvone,
lovely. Is it C. reticulatus?

Tim,
what a marvelous golden egg like color, especially when bulking up so nicely. 
Unfortunately, I lost C. herbertii by black frost last year.

Dave,
two very nice potful of crocus. Well bred.
Does C. adanensis set seed with you?

[Armin]

Roma,
I'm pleased to see your crocus collection increasing!

Dirk,
outstanding collection and rarities
I hope that the forecasted cold spell of bad weather for the weekend will cause no frost damages and that sunshine and warmth comes back soon.

Crocus vernus 'Michael's Purple' complete with outriders who are no more now! Greenhouse down for spraying tomorrow.

Finally we have some sun in Neustadt and the lawn is colouring:

Some of the few survivors of last years desaster in the open garden:
- Crocus baytopiorum, from Anne with many thanks 
- Crocus reticulatus from Italy
- Crocus weldenii, growing together with reticulatus in Italy
- a special form of Crocus vernus (n=16), also from Italy, that doesn't fit with the standard vernus (n=8).
   Will probably soon be described as a new species
- C. versicolor and some selected chrysanthus hybrids from my lawn

... and finally some chrysanthus hybrids that I found in my lawn and replanted them into the garden:

Wow that new vernus(species) is spectacular and your hybrids are fantastic as well Thomas
