Hi Poul,

Brilliant pictures!
I suppose these are growing in your greenhouse?
Here only the tips are just starting to show (growing outside)

Thank you Maggi! And many thanks to everyone who sent me greetings for my birthday! My best present today gave me Crocus scharojani flavus flowerbuds of which just today popped out of ground. From others - nicely blooms Crocus puringii - this year started just after C. ilgazensis which bloomed already before potting. From colchicums my favourites this autumn are C. sanguicolle and C. macrophyllum. Of course some of suworovianus, the first flower of cappadocicus are already blooming and today I maid even the first herbarium sheet of very interesting Greek Crocus cancellatus group representative from E Aegean Islands.
Crocus repotting was finished 31st of August, last two days repotted all Fritillaria pots and today harvested desert Corydalis and started harvesting of juno irises. All still without roots. It is unusually late for me, but I became much slower.

The last nights have been colder in Denmark too, and now more Crocus show their noses:
Banaticus
Banaticus First Snow
Nudiflorus Orla
Autranii
   all growing outside

I believe many more will come in a few days.

More and more cocuses start blooming. Weather is too hot and flowers didn't last long. Here some pictures from this morning:
Crocus archibaldiorum - originally collected by HKEP
Still is blooming Crocus scharojanii flavus
Very excellent is crocus from Crocus cancellatus group - sample RUDA-061
The first vallicolas come out, Turkish this autumn at moment are slightly creamy toned, but those from NW Caucasus (Russia) are brightest white
But I'm not growing only crocuses - here some of another crop - cultivar 'Sugar Giant' - not the largest fruit (the largest was around 1.5 times larger)
