Super pictures everyone.

Thomas, I'm looking forward to seeing your Sea of crocus this year.

I have another two months, before I see a flower. Well I take that back. I do have all my 'Isauricus Spring Beauty', in pots and in the basement. I suppose I could bring a pot up in another 3 weeks. Their by a window, lots of grow tips poping up, and some have leaves growing.

David, your chrysanthus "Zwanenburg Bronce" looks correct!

Guff, Crocus x cultorum is a general name for the garden variants of Crocus vernus.

Tony atrip to Turkey could be great and I don't suppose their would be any trouble finding someone to carry my bags. Perhaps the SRGC could fund my research   ;D

Mark,
Not only the plant itself but also your spelling. Correct is Crocus cvijicii  ;) I was told it is better to play this name on the violin than to pronounce it.

Janis Ruksans 2008 catalog

Does Janis send out a catalogue if I ordered last year or do I have to send him another €5

I'm afraid you'll have to send him another 5 € - but he deducts it from your order  :)

I get a catalogue from Janis every year provided I ordered the previous year. I don't think you need to pay for a new one every time.
