   Dirk, so now you have seen how I am famous ;) ;)

   I am sorry about your unlucky crocus trip. That cold and snowy temperature was unexpected for this time of year. I think the full autumn crocus season is not started yet for that region!. Even in my garden I have only a few C. speciosus and C. pallasii in flower yet.

Few pictures from yesterdays afternoon when again sky cleared and bright sun warmed up greenhouse. May be some stocks were shown before, too, but those are new flowers.
At first two Crocus cancellatus stocks
Then Crocus cartwrightianus from Antoine Hoog
Just started to bloom Crocus nerimaniae which I got this autumn from Archibald. My own stocks only started to show noses out of soil. I suppose that difference is caused by warmer climate in Wales which develops bulbs, flowers quicker than it happens here. I very wait blooming of my stock, as I collected few corms when they were out of flowers but the plants on this locality turned heavily virus infected.
Crocus robertianus albus nicely opened in sun showing its marvellous bright orange-yellow throat.
Crocus speciosus BLUE WEB now is in full bloom. Marvellous selection of Leonid Bondarenko.
An as last of this entry - Crocus thomasii from Apulia in Italy.
On next entry, later today again will be various C. pallasii. Now I'm going to finish replanting of bulbs. Hope today, certainly tomorrow.

Another portion of Crocus pallasii stocks.
On the first picture is pot with open pollinated seedlings from Crocus pallasii which originally was collected E of Bozkir. The right plant looks very similar to C. mathewii, but Bozkir is located far to East from Crocus mathewii localities. The seeds are from open pollinated plants in my nursery, so I suppose that it is hybrid with C.mathewii made by some bee, confirming that both species are very close.

Sorry, if some stocks were shown before.
