Crocus 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.

No. I never noted this although have this cv. for ~ 10 years. It certainly is mix in stock.

Thanks Mark and Janis. That's what I thought the answer would be. I was just hoping...

A bit later than usual, Crocus baytopiorum is flowering now and is the first one in the frame, even earlier than C. versicolor.

It's really one of my favourite one with it's pale blue lines.

Fred, superb looking baytopiorums, I'm guessing you've had some sun to open them up!!

Regarding C. baytopiorum, is the reflexed shape of the flower typical?  Or does this happen more because of soft conditions in a frame or under lights, or is it typical at late anthesis?  In Anne's photo, while obviously younger opening blooms, they are erect and goblet shaped.

I've noticed that my clone is allways opening this way when in full sun previous years.
Goblet shape was only when not enough light to fully open.

But may be all the clones doesn't react as mine ??

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!   ::)

High temperature + too dry air.

Today we had here in Belgium a lot of sun, and look what's flowering today in my alpine  house: Crocus biflorus ssp. nubigena, one of my great favourites. Enjoy the black anthers!
