Re Crocus chrysanthus: The wild populations we have seen here had stigmas, which were red or orange (the orange being the same colour as the rest of the flower). Is it possible that 'Milea' is just a selection from a wild population with the same variation? The bought Crocus chrysanthus I brought with me to Bulgaria flowered in the same week- which is also the same week as our nearest local wild populations of C.chrysanthus flowered. Populations further south in Bulgaria have just about finished flowering.Thanks Tony G- for your help with my Crocus id. Has anyone else grown C.biflorus pulchricolor from Janis? I am wondering if this is what I have. I bought this the season before our vole attack and as such never saw it flower. If this is the id, then it must have regenerated from scraps left in a vole run under its current position. Attached pic shows the closed flowers.
Thanks, Janis. Have you offered a pulchricolor this dark before?
The attached photo is of a crocus i got last fall as C. scepusinensis leucostigma, i find nothing on this crocus can someone confirm and provide some culture information Thanks Rimmer
Thanks Tony, i got them in 2007 but they got starved and this is their first year to bloom, so much for specialist nurserys... The attached photo is of a crocus i got last fall as C. scepusinensis leucostigma, i find nothing on this crocus can someone confirm and provide some culture information Thanks Rimmer
I have found a large clump of this crocus with a faded label Crocus olivieri ssp olivieri .I was wonder if anyone can confirm the name.Thanks
