Great plants and pictures everyone.  Here the sun appeared only briefly this afternoon.

Crocus ancyrensis
Crocus dalmaticus 'Petrovac'        Still refusing to open
Crocus imperati ssp. imperati De Jager       This has given a succession of flowers over about 6 weeks.

Some lovely pictures over the last few days folks. Here's one of mine from the greenhouse today- Crocus chrysanthus 'Herald'. This one from Thomas, thanks very much Thomas.

One or two Forumists have, in the past, bemoaned the fact that they could do with a Botanical Key for Crocus species (usually those of us without a copy of The Crocus). I have acquired a copy of one of the Keys put together by Brian Mathewand anyone who would be interested in a copy of it is invited to contact me at my private Email address for further details.

Bless 'em! they're still lovely, though, aren't they? We've got some Crocus imperati that must be 10 to 12 cms high ...they're still upright meantime!

Yet another C. korolkowii 'Kiss of Spring' (who devised this ridiculous name?).
Despite the dull weather this is remaining compact whereas C. flavus is elongating by the minute.

That's a lovely one Gerry (it may be named by Janis R), likewise the glorious baytopiorum. I'm really missing crocuses here in mid summer. Way too dry for the autumn species to start. So it's good to get a "fix" here. THanks to everyone therefore.

Name is given by me. I just had a girlfriend with me in garden and she liked it so much that greated me with hot kiss - so variety got its name.
