Crocus robertianus

In the past I have found this species very difficult & have lost it several times. Recently I’ve had more success by keeping the plants  in an open plunge during the summer so that they do not become too hot & dry.

Tony, on a happier note here is Crocus wattiorum from you last year. Two of the corms have flowers with particularly marked exterior stripes which are particularly attractive. Sorry about the lighting, I had to do this after work when it was dark!

Yes, I got almost full germination from those  - lots of little corms when i repotted a couple of months ago, but flowering a year or two off of course....

Hello,

a few pictures of Crocusses here in Austria.
The season is not so good, many species still under ground or without flowers this season!

I think that yellow-throated hadriaticus is a real gem. I have several variations of hadriaticus (nothing like the yellow though  :))and find it one of the best and most vigorous of all crocuses, a really good plant.

Yesterday I was delighted to find two seed pods on C. laevigatus, the gold-backed form, though gold is opptimistic, a soft yellow is nearer.
