Crocus november 2015

[Roma]

They have all spread from a few small corms or seeds in used potting compost spread in the garden.  Lovely when in flower but the leaves are a nuisance in places where I would like a bit of colour in the summer.

Thanks Poul. Strangely, the seedlings have put white flowers from 2012. A ‘true’ orange flower that matches the description on JJA seed list for the first time this year. Probably the seeds were mixed with some autumn white crocuses.

A truly yellow autumn flowering (just) crocus, Tatsuo.  Remarkable and beautiful.

There are  quite a few regulars forumists  posting in the private world of Facebook, Tatsuo.
 I think it a  shame that they are not sharing their photos and experiences with a wider public, especially when so much has been made available to them here.



There is a December  2015 Crocus thread!
