Quote from: Roma on January 30, 2010, 09:56:09 PMCrocus chrysanthus 'Sunspot' has been in the greenhouse all winter. Does anyone know if the black stigma of chrysanthus 'Sunspot' can temporarily revert to normal orange-yellow for a season and then back to black again? One of the two corms I had from Pottertons last autumn has produced flowers with orange-yellow stigmas, and the other the expected black stigmas. Don't want to complain if it's just a temporary reversion and will have black stigmas next year.

I've just putted them under artificial light in the greenhouse as I was waiting for their opening for 5 ( cloudy ) days
We never see Crocus in the wild behave quite like that- so maybe it is a combination of the sunlight as well as heat of a greenhouse?I imagine it would be detrimental in the wild- the poor bees would keep falling off!
