Crocus November 2013

[Maggi Young]

The colder weather is bearable with such gems to enjoy,  isn't it?  I think C. mathewi is just sublime.

just got back from the Delphi area on from a flower point of view a quite useless trip as the rain is a month late and the area is burnt dry.However some wonderful walking in superb surroundings. Needless to say it poured down on my last day when I found some nice-

Better late then never Dominique and patience is one of the main skills when you grow bulbs ....So never mind about that .
Lovely and healthy looking Crocus ! Do you grow them in a bulbframe ? or just outside ?

Sad indeed , heard the same story about Crete Tony .....Seems to me that the season starts later every year  in this regions.... In the future we have to go at Christmas time to see the autumn flowering species 
Beautiful robertianus and the raindrops giving this picture a nice effect .........

finally we are having some sun after a cold week.

Crocus oreocreticus the purple striped ones -from NARGS seed started in 2008- are these true or a hybrid form?

Crocus ochroleucus - the white ones

Do,
great crocus collection, as every year Like your C. tournefortii & cartwrightianus albus.

Tony W,
lovely robertianus from the wild. Weather in November is a lottery. Had 1 wk almost continous driving rain. All late C. speciosus flopped over.

Rimmer,
by image your Crocus oreocreticus looks true to me. Why do you have doubts?

[dominique]

Chris i grow them both, bulbframe for security and open for "kamicase" tries !!!
Tony, i like too much robertianus
Thank Armin
