Mid week I saw some colour in a pot outside - I took it inside to the warmth today as it was -1 last night and +1.5 (Daytime today) and was delighted with the results - chrysanthus "sunspot".

Nothing more cheering than some Crocus cheer, in my book.   8)

Maggi/Roma,
                      After the wet weather we have had and the now freezing temperatures that we have had in Aberdeen I was surprised to see these flowers. I had a bit of difficulty getting them out of the container I had them in as they were frozen.

One of the Crocus alexandri from Janis in 2015 :)
Hoping the other bulbs have more contrasted flowers.

You are sure that it is from Turkmenistan? Don't think that it is growing there. Even at very East of Turkmenistan and closely adjacent Uzbekistan regions never saw it.

I got it from Jan Jilek. It was labelled as coming from Turkmenistan. I bought it in 2014. He also offered it on his 2015 bulb list.

What a wealth of gorgeous Crocus' shown here !  :o :o :o

Tatsuo, that Michelsonii is to die for !!!  :o

I love the brown centered Korolkowii, Steve, very rare I believe !

Some flowering here before the frost comes and will take over our early Spring.

Crocus (biflorus formerly I believe) alexandri

Crocus chrysanthus 'Sunspot' - also appreciated by slugs....  >:(

The origins (localities) of plants for this source not always seem to be trustable - C. korolkowii isn't listed in any publication about Flora of Turkmenistan and not even for adjacent territories of Uzbekistan, Iran. I grows in Uzbekistan, but more to East, in Tadjikistan and adjacent Afganistan. I several times tried to order from JJ and never got any seed or bulb.

Just found its name in list of bulbous plants of Kirghyzstan and I forgot to mention its occurence in NW corner of Pakistan

Crocus caricus


Crocus taseliensis -Not the best of images due to the low light level. The flower was etiolated and lying on its side.



Crocus minutus -Apart from a slightly paler stigma this to my eyes appears to be identical to Crocus danfordiae.


Crocus sieberi sieberi
