I had a quick look at the flowers that are left on grass bank, and spotted this....
Five or six years ago(or maybe 8, hard to remember) , I had a seed pod grow on my Carpathian Wonder. I had also used the pollen to make a couple crosses that year.


Maggi, going to have to make something next year to protect them. I think the deer have been eating them since I had started the bank, but it has never been this bad that I had noticed.

Hi Guff,

what a drama - you wait a whole year and then the buds are simply plucked off by an ignorant, hungry soul...
Fortunately, crocuses often have multiple flowers. That may allay your grudges...

Nice offspring of Carpathian Wonder.

Jeff, Armin thanks.

I have an even bigger project planned, need all the crocus seeds I can get. Plus I finally wanted to see mass flowers on the bank. Upstate New York, the weather can change fast, and this has been the best year for crocus in a long time.

I have a lower woods, that I want filled with Spring flowers.

Last seedling bed, will be added to grass bank this summer. Mostly growing in all shade, so they don't flower well.

Crocus on the grass bank

The yellow seedling is a really nice one with that delicate pale yellow color. It reminds me of Midas Touch.

Poul thanks.

Think it's a seedling from this crocus. Always have plans on digging the crocus up to see if can get it to clump up, but never do. Just been collecting seeds.

Found a second possible Carpathian Wonder seedling. No marking on the white outside.
