Crocus October 2015

[tonyg]

Five more from my collection.  Peak flowering time but precious little sunshine   

Crocus boryi
Crocus goulimyi - a nice form with large flowers
Crocus niveus - bicolor form
Seedling ex Crocus mathewii - likely a hybrid with a close relative
Crocus tournefortii x boryi (allegedly)- form close to tournefortii but with nice feathering.

The last entry for today.
At first Crocus dilekyarensis from Dilek Yar in W Turkey - very beautiful and special crocus
Then two pictures of Crocus dispathaceus - not so dark as shown by Osman, but easy identifiable by narrow flower segments and stigma enclosed by curved anthers
This C. kotschyanus leucopharynx I got from "Ufo" (Dirk). Its seedlings split in typical kotschyanus and in leucopharynx.
And as last - multipetalled Crocus macedonicus

Janis, who is, actually, ''Ufo'' ?
Here some flowers in my garden:
Crocus hermoneus
            ligusticus and
            vallicola, late and large form

Crocus goulimyi, goulimyi leucanthus and niveus. Flowering nearly at the same time here as in the Peloponnes!

Sorry, Dirk. My mistake. I thought Udo!

wooow so many nice crocusses which have passed 

I only started recently (2013) with sowing of crocus. I self made some 'houses' to store my seedpots. I haven't had any idea if it would be good but after the 3th season i can say the seedlings do very well :-d

Excellent pictures. Far better to see details on entry here than on Facebook. I will try to delete myself from Facebook when will come my children (they are more clever on computers). Too many comes on my mailbox and take too much time to delete them. Our forum (SRGC) is far better.
You are lucky, you can grow them outside. Here I will lost them in first winter. Even in my polytunnels covered with two layers of plastic film I must to cover my pots with glass-wool to protect against frost which can drop even below minus 30 C, although in last 3 winters we hadn't temperatures below minus 20 C.

Crocus nudiflorus
Crocus kotschyanus
Crocus goulimyi required as caspius

It has been a strange season. Vallicola is delayed 2 months!

[Philip Walker]

I've forgotten which one,but the 1st flower from these.

It's a white Crocus goulimyi, so either most likely Mani White (clone from goulimyi) or var leucanthus.
