Crocus March

[David Nicholson]

Hi Thomas good to have you posting again. Niiiccce

[Thomas Huber]

Thanks, Dave and David.

I should mention, that I identified the new vernus wrong as Crocus etruscus, when I found them first some years ago.

Thomas,
mouthwatering images Lovely chysanthus hybrids.

Some shy flowers from my meadow. Ground was still deep frozen in the shadow this morning.
I'm delighted - this year are many bees around - hope for more seed

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.

Thanks Armin,
now are ' only ' even announced -8°C and richly snow. All plants will well hopefully get over this. At the beginning of the week the prediction still lay in -15°C.

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

Great to see your garden again Thomas!  Some nice hybrids.  Here we had Spring this week ..... just 2 days and now it is cold with more snow on the way for the next two weeks     Hope the weather is kinder to you.  In this cold weather the flowers will last a long time but not many pollinators here yet and fertilisation will fail in the frost

Latvia is frozen. This winter Riga Gulf remained without ice-cover - but it will be hardened next week (by weather broadcast on night to Monday temperature here will fell to minus 27 C - we wait coldest night during this winter). My greenhouses again were covered with glass-wool regardless of crocus blooming. But I didn’t saw them as I was away in Greece. Fortunately my helper did this job in my absence. Some spring at present offered not earlier than 20th of March. Yesterday I took out 2 accidental pots and they flourished on my bathrooms windowsill.

Here are some Crocus tommasinianus in a semi natural environment  (the edge of a small beech forest) - a few days before the weather changed dramatically.
