Crocus september 2011
« on: September 02, 2011, 06:49:28 PM »
Crocus banaticus is blooming now. There is no better time to become a croconut. This  is a real fantastic plant. The white one is a seedling, born here in our garden. But I`m a galanthophile, what should I do?? ;)

Beautiful Hagen, you should just lie back and enjoy it, and do you know most of the Crocuses actually look different ;D

Really it is very early comparing with my observations. Here banaticus blooms much later. With me now in flowers are last scharojanii flavus, the first speciosus from Crimea, some suworovianus, cappadocicus and a pair of cancellatus, but several buds of others are coming out, too. Mass blooming still didn't start.

Hagen, you could be a galanthophile in spring and a croconut in the autumn, so no problem ;D

Lovely white banaticus!

A very beautiful pure white seedling from Crocus nudiflorus 'Orla' opened today... we admired  it before we went to work at the radio station .... when we came home and went to see it again after lunch.... it had been felled like a little tree by some hungry mollusc. >:( >:( >:( >:(

We have one C. banaticus open in the "hot bed" under the kitchen window .... some other crocus are spreading September delight...... bless them!
I imagine they'll be hitting the Bulb Log pages soon.  ;)
