Crocus kotschyanus var. leucopharynx is especially beautiful!Steven, I´ve got several colchicums with merged tubes and flowers, though gardening beyond the border in Germany.Crocus vallicola is one I was looking for, I´m glad to grow it now. :-)The crocus to the right was grown from SRGC-seed received in 2018, Crocus nudiflorus. The one to the left came to me as a blind passenger in a pot with Crocus banaticus from a friend. It looks very attractive, but I´m afraid it´s virus - diseased?
Hi, Yes I do also have 'normal' crocuses, in fact about 99% :-)But what struck my amazement this morning, yet again a deformation, I have not seen this many any year before.I feed them bonemeal mostly as a fertiliser; perhaps some of the growth hormones used in the meat industry have something to do with it? So far I can't think of any other plausibel cause (which doesn't mean there can be loads of other factors of course)This is C. mathewii 'Dream Dancer'. Does anyone else notice any more 'changes' than usual this year?

I have found a similar Crocus nudiflorus in my garden and I am afraid it is virused. It is shown with a normal nudiflorus.
100% sure that it is virus infection!!!
