Such wonderful pictures of these crocus lawns, it makes me want to try too! My lawn is very mossy and wet during the winter, I think the crocuses would not like it :(

A beautiful show Armin!

such a result for a start.  ::) ::) ;D

Great pix everyone !

Armin, some very beatiful chrysanthus there ! - are they all still flowering now, mine have been over since a few weeks already.

Dominique,
I've never seen that one - I suppose the outside is greyish/white ?

Andrew,
I love your C. versicolor !!!

My lawn is very mossy and wet during the winter, I think the crocuses would not like it :(

Anne, my lawn is also very wet during the winter months and due to the acer trees in the front
I also have some moss. But this is no problem for the crocus cultivars (vernus, chrysanthus,
biflorus, tommasinianus, etruscus and sieberi) only C. korolkowii and ancyrensis do not feel
well there! Also chrysanthus Jeannine became less and less in the last years!


Armin, you have a good selection in your garden. Where did you buy Jeannine? Mine from Dix
last year were Prins Claus  :-[ Ladykiller is known to carry a virus from Dutch stocks - better
kill them - NOW!
