Oh well, you can't win 'em all. As my old Dad used to say 'be happy with a score draw every now and then'  ;D

David - may I suggest that you report the virus problem to Rob Potterton? I have always found Pottertons to be a very responsible nursery.

I sent Rob an Email last night and there was a reply in my Inbox this morning and that after a round trip of over 400 miles for him yesterday. I fully agree, a very fair and responsible nursery.

I have Crocus laevigatus out now. Also C. longiflorus and C. niveus 'Blue Form'.

Anthony,
a very beautiful "blue" crocus series you show us. 8) C. leavigatus is pretty nice :D
And I would be happy my C. longiflorus become just as pretty as yours.
They only show noses above gound and I'm not sure they will still flower :-\.

Dominique,
a happy birthday to you! What a crocus flower show :o
Your C. sativus "albus" seems to be a flower-willingly C. hadriaticus, right?

I can add to your odd looking Crocus speciosus more horrid looking versions of genetically defect C. kotschyanus... :o
I purchased them as C. ochroleucus which did not flower but rapidly increase ::) This autuum I lifted the corms and gave a new place. A few started flowering now but not normal as you can see.
Relucting I'll compost them all...about 80 fat corms :'(

Dom
Fantastique!!!  Some of the plants are very familiar but it is aways interesting and informative to see the different ways we grow our plants.  I especially liked the climps of C goulimyi and the C cancellatus in the first post.
There was a shot labelled C niveus which might be C hadriaticus but I could not read the label in the photo.
(I have received you letter - thanks.  You are on the list)
Bon Anniversaire :)
