Crocus January 2011

[Michael J Campbell]

Crocus Nevadensis

[I.S.]

 Michael very nice crocuses,
I think that one with black anther from Gülek pass is not C.reticulatus!
Maybe C. biflorus pseudonubigena with honey scent!

[Michael J Campbell]

Thanks Ibrahim,I guess you are correct, but that is what was on the label as I got it and I take all these things at face value as I don't have the desired knowledge on Crocus. I have emailed Janis for correction.

Cheers.

Superb Pictures everyone! Hard to decide which is the most beautyful - C. hartmanianus is  a real gem. Glad to receive Janis Crocusbook soon.

From today - C. adanensis about to open (I think they look better at this stage than when actually open quite often - particularly in my greenhouse where they have usually etiolated by that time!) and a C. baytopiorum.

Luc,
I know. ; BTW...I think you have by now still cv C. sieberi (ssp. atticus) 'Michael Hoog's Memory'

Crocus atticus 'Michael Hoog's Memory' is excellent clone, which I got from late Michael Hoog few years before his death under name Crocus robertianus. It turned one of the most beautiful forms of C. atticus and one of most hardy and excellent increaser. So I decided to name it in honor of my great friend.

Sadly I'm not able to keep Crocus cvijicii alive. It is OK the spring after I buy them but they then die 

Luc what have I missed? You have a new camera?

Most likely too dry in summer (or too hot - bring outside!!!!)

No sun here to open crocuses, the only one near to opening is this little beauty
Crocus biflorus isauricus Akseki (from Janis)

[Luc Gilgemyn]

Very nice indeed Diane  and quite different from mine from the same source...

I hope it opens up for you and you can show us another picture.

Alex,
C. adanensis nicely clumped up compared to the picture of last year
Well done.

Crocus vittelinus white

Gerhard,
you have an exquisite croci collection

Your white C. vitellinus is something special - I have not seen.
The flower resembles its autuum flowering relative C. hyemalis.

I like the C. aerius - do you have a picture from the flower inside too?

[I.S.]

 The C. vitellinus white;
I would prefer to call it C. candidus! Maybe it is better to check the corm first.
