Daniel, why not post your lovely pictures on the Forum in the normal way? I'm probably not the only one who hates sites that full of dubious advertising material which can so easily lead to virus/spamming transfers.

Today I visited again Gresten in Lower Austria. At this time of the yeas the place is famous for it masses of Crocus neapolitanus. Said to be introduced by the Romans - bit I am not really convinced...

Great place - superb photos, Herbert.
I remember years ago I have seen photos from this place from Johannes Höller.

3. my meadow

I've also planted a lot in the grass.
How do they come back every year if we want to mow the lawn?
I turn around and I large clumps of grass everywhere. It is not very aesthetic. At home, with such quantity, you mow how long after flowering?

  Thomas Huber will be able to tell us the best time to wait, I think - but  it is usually said that at least six weeks after flowering. I would personally want to wait till the leaves were starting to go yellow - but I am perhaps too fearful.

I am also waiting until everything is yellow but in the meantime, it is not very happy. I think placing a guardian over each to dig up later and put in a flat strip. Unless six weeks is sufficient.

Hello Fred (!) I cut when the crocus leaves turn yellow and I still make it with the lawn mower. My lawn is fortunately very meager. Daniel
