Sorry - I forgot to translate for the non-Germans. Thanks Maggi  :-*

No sun today, but warm pre-storm temperatures have opened the Crocusses in the garden
and started the football season  :-\

Some more special chrysanthus cultivars:

-Brassband - before you have to ask: Yes, it's really that colour and I love it!!!
-Herald - Another Beauty with dark outer petals and soft yellow inside.
-Eyecatcher - I think I posted it some days ago but it looks like a white brother of Herald
-Gipsy Girl - a single flower in my lawn
-White Beauty  and
-White Triumphator - both are old cultivars, no longer available in trade
-an unnamed hybrid in my lawn with a very intense blue colour.
-another seedling (possibly from Romance) and tommasinianus Ruby Giant in the background

Lovely pictures Thomas. Crocus chrysanthus 'Eyecatcher' is a stunner and very aptly named.

My lawn is 99% moss with an odd tuft of grass over soggy clay.We all have limitations and I will just enjoy yours which are magnificent
