Smashing Crocus everyone !  Mouthwatering beauties !

I found Crocus hittiticus flowering for Christmas     Too bad the flower is rather small, but still quite attractive !

It really looks that in Europe started spring. What you will show when normal Crocus blooming time will come? Here I'm very nervous and happy that my crocuses still are not so advanced. Here in first weeks of January offered temperature dropping below minus 10 C and even down to near minus 20. Tomorrow will start preparing for covering, but today still enjoyed holidays and studied new species described by extremely active duet. This case a pair (with others still not worked) was not far difficult to identify and here I'm showing pictures maid by me in wild (2007) and in greenhouse last spring. This is crocus commemorating great Crocus lower E.A. Bowles - Crocus bowlesianus - really very beautiful. May be I sent it to someone under name C. atrospermus as it like this one has black (or almost black) seeds, too.
