Would Galanthus snappedoffii ssp bychrisensis have been collected in the wild in Adidastan or was it Nikeidzjan ? 8)

You're right Luc - it was Adidastan!
We've been there last July!  8)

Yes, he was with me - but as I was the leader of the expedition,
it was my turn to keep the only plant we found!  ::)

The first autumn crocus in my garden:

1) C. banaticus seedling.

2) White C. banaticus seedling.

Good to have nice fine, dry weather here for the start of the crocus season, rather than the more usual wind and rain that normally flattens my autumn crocus!  :)

Glad it is good weather with you, Martin... it is fine here, though getting colder and there is a lot of wind today (and last night)... colchicums flattened and crocus battered  :-\

I can well believe there might be a frost tonight, Martin. Just been out again with Lily and it is much colder than it was this afternoon... really biting wind. Brrr!

We're still having good frosts in the SH and a biting wind as they thaw. Crocuses are well past their best but still flowers coming on minimus forms and kosaninii and I'm amazed at how long the chrysanthus hybs are going on, much longer in the garden than in pots. A lesson there.

A wonderful sunny day in Germany gave me the chance for a few more photos:

- Two different forms of Crocus karduchorum broad petals with long style and thin petals with short style
- a strong and big form of Crocus serotinus ssp salzmanii from Morocco
- and, finally, a second flower of my white salzmanii appeared, beneath the one that was killed by Chris' ball
- I couldn't resist to post another photo of these wonderful Crocus tournefortii   8)
- have a careful look at these banaticus - there's something strange!
