Wim,The laevigatus is very late though isn't it ??
Luc,the laevigatus grows outside so maybe it's late because of the cold weather we had the last month. I have some other laevigatus that are just showing buds so its isn't my last flowering laevigatus.
Best friends,Herewith some rarities, flowering last Sunday during a rare moment of sunshine: Crocus biflorus ssp. artvinensis and 2 forms of Crocus michelsonii.Hendrik

I have some other laevigatus that are just showing buds so its isn't my last flowering laevigatus.According to Brian Mathew, the flowering season for C. laevigatus extends from October to March. Very late flowering ones occur in the Cyclades & they retain this habit in cultivation.
Anne , not only beautiful pictures but also great plants.They look very healthy and it looks that they are grown hard .I think so because they are very squat ...How you succeed ?
Kris,I grow the following species outside:Crocus abantensis-Crocus alatavicus-Crocus antalyensis ‘Sky Blue’Crocus banaticus-Crocus chrysanthus ‘Sunspot’-Crocus chrysanthus ‘Uschak Orange’-Crocus dalmaticus ‘Petrovac’-Crocus flavus ssp. flavus-Crocus fleischeri-Crocus fleischeri ‘Gulek Pass’-Crocus gargaricus herbertii-Crocus goulimyi-Crocus hadriaticus-Crocus korolkowii-Crocus kotschyanus-Crocus laevigatusCrocus longiflorus-Crocus niveus-Crocus nudiflorus-Crocus pallassii-Crocus sieberi ‘Tricolor’Crocus veluchensis_Crocus vernus ssp. vernus var. heuffelianus ‘Carpathian wonder’some of them with more success then others. I grow the ones that like a dry summer rest against a south facing wall in a very sandy soilmix which get covered in summer.
Mark, your photos are superb of two lovely crocuses - who was Michael Hoog? A wonderful crocus to remember him by.....bred by you?
One Crocus from me and ex Janis. Another foggy day outside but just a glimpse of sun to take a couple of photos Michael Hoog's Memorykorolkowii - I gave one away last year but to who?
