Note variation, one very close or = to biflorus pulchricolor the other with clear chrysanthus influence (also shown in close up from above)Crocus x bornmulleri. This is a name for hybrids between chrysanthus and biflorus. I presume in this case that C chrysanthus is the seed parent.Tony, I'm intrigued by those hybrids, the brownish-purplish-gold tones are very appealing. Good to know the name x bornmulleri is the catch-all for hybrids between those two species.

Mention of Cambridge Bulbs prompted me to ask if anyone has an up-to-date address for him as for some reason I stopped getting his catalogue some years ago. Also, do you need to send an s.a.e. or cash for the latest catalogue? Thanks.
