Cyril,Splendid Crocus. Can you give a very brief overview of your cultivation of C. moabiticus? Is it much drier than "regular" Crocus? I have just acquired some seedling this year and would appreciate a few pointers very much.Cheers,Alex
Interesting that Janis notes that the flowers of 'Homeri' close for the night - have those of you growing this plant noticed that?
Here are 2 crocuses today...Crocus goulimyi from selected variants, from JJA 345.212.Crocus serotinus ssp. salzmannii, from JJA 352.006, a white flower.
Some do give the name as pallasii 'Homeri' - however, Janis has written previously : "Another surprise was Crocus which I got as "pallasii" but it seem to be cartwrightianus but it is closing flowers for night. Originally collected on Chios island (Greece) and named 'Homeri' by great ancient Greek poet Homer. Note black anthers (black colour in crocuses is my "weakness" point)."see more here http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=2639.msg63028#msg63028
Tatsuo, the white Crocus serotinus ssp. salzmannii with the purple tube is eye catching. The high light level is keeping it fairly low. I grow a named pure white form 'El Torcal' but the flowers are taller.
I'm guessing my Crocus 'Dream Dancer' are not as supplied?
