We seldom have a banaticus this early.... Kris and Chris must have been having loud parties to wake them up!  ;D

......Probably - but what wonders me most is, that his banaticus is growing on top of my latest rockgarden in bonedry soil where the sun is burning from 3pm until evening!
Generally it is said, that banaticus likes it moist and cool in summer, but this is not given there... ???

Dirk and Poul,
congratulations - great start of the autuum crocus blossom in the NH 8)

I agree with Armin . Very nice and some are certainly on my wishlist  ;D

The first to flower here this year :  Crocus banaticus 'Snowdrift' Some shots made this weekend ...

Kris, Your Snowdrift is wonderful! Does it come true from seeds? If it does we could make some seed swapping in the spring...

The first C. banaticus are in flower here - about 3 weeks earlier than last year. Other crocus are already shooting.

Thanks Nicole and a good observation too . That is Celmisia semicordata. Together with some others (like the Crocus )its find his place in my peatbed.

Another quick question - if a Crocus wakes up very early (it's not so early any more, but let's say end of July/beginning of August when I had C. suworowianus in flower) and send sup a flower, do you begin watering or leave it till September?

Ta,

Alex
