Crocus March 2007

[Maggi Young]

Two years from seed, Dirk, that is nice and fast for such a pretty flower. Good that not everything we grow takes three years to germinate and fourteen to flower, isn't it? 

[Thomas Huber]

I finally sorted out my picture-problem and now I'm able to see all the photos!!!

Jim, your unknown Crocus looks like chrysanthus "Advance" - do you
have a photo of the open flower???

Hans, this is very funny, much better than my soup!

I knew growing Crocus was addictive but I didn't realise it was dangerous enough to wear a helmet and to assume fierce facial expressions

For all who not speaking "Bavarian" slang : Buam = Boys

Maggi - did you know it ?

[Maggi Young]

Quite, David, a revelation to me too, though I cheered up when I saw that is also very warm work for these boys....... apparently............

[Maggi Young]

Maggi - did you know it ?

No, Hans, I did not know this.

Hans - now it's said: You've found my alter ego! 
Don't tell my wife in Neustadt about wife and kids in Berchtesgarden!!!

This has appeared in the last few days in a pot without a label. Hopefully someone can ID it. The colour is exactly right

Lovely one Mark but I have no idea

[Joakim B]

After all this eye candy I would like to show some more eye candy in the form of Crocus 
I took pictures of what I could when I was back in Sweden.
I will start to show some from the botanical garden in Lund but I think they ordinary dutch ones and not special ones like in Gothenbur.
Then agin I do not think the ones in Gothenburg i growed in the lawn. 
I took the pics at several oportunities and the last one was almost at dusk so not so great light.
First overview of bulbs in the lawn then tommies amongst the rocks two pics and the tommie close up then mixed ones.
I am not sure if the prince Claus is that and I am curious if anyone know the green and white one in the same picture.

More crucus from our summer house 100 km north so it is a bit behind and only the one that have been recently planted where up.
The one that has been there for a long time where still in bud if even.
The newer ones are planted higher so that might influence.
Does bulbs fully grown ones also "move" to correct depth?
Here I am unsure of some but think I have a good guess please let me know If I am right or wrong
Start with tommies anyone know what sort if any?
Gipsy girl or somthing like that in name?
Tricolor?
Then others on different place also tricolor? Top and side view
White one I really like the clean in this one no other colour.
Dark one may not that dark as the picture but darker than the rest
White with purpur anyone know the name?
Finally a striped one
