A really fine and lovely crocus is Crocus wattiorum. I am pleased about the rich bloom.

Kris, this is not my merit. Crocus wattiorum is a new acquisition by Janis. I was amazed and delighted at the strong bulbs. Frost-free I can not overwinter here. Although I have read that this Crocus should be something sensitive to frost, but I hope it survives the winter in an unheated glasshouse well.

A few from today.  Close call with frost this morning at 07:15 - +2.7c but rooves were clear, Vireyas ok.  It went up to 6c rather quickly.

2 x Crocus nudiflorus (mice got my old clump) and 1 x Crocus pulchellus 'Zephyr'
