Hey Maggi
I'm fine, struggling with a very dry autumn.
Hasn't rained in over two months, and the temperatures are still in the 20s.
This autumns biggest project will be a waterwell in my garden. ;)

Superb croci images from all. 8) 8) 8)

Raised beds soil is bone dry, 26°C today, feels like record for bof October.

Early C. speciosus und C. pulchelus withered within 2 days.
Onyl C. goulimyi seem to withstand the higher temps.

  Armin , here in Melbourne in March we often have 26 and more degrees  when the majority of the autumn fl. Crocus are in bloom and the autumn rains start -which are then very welcome .

After a week of temperatures in the high 20's it is cooler here now  :) :)  The warm nights should have helped with seed set on those autumn crocus in flower, even though it meant the flowers did not last so long.  Here are a few that have caught my eye recently.

A large flowered seedling of Crocus longiflorus
A pale Crocus oreocreticus seedling
Nice Crocus goulimyi leucanthus about to be pollinated
Pollinator moved on to Crocus serotinus
A narrow petalled Crocus pallasii raised from wild collected seed.
A home seedling of Crocus thomasii.  Very pale, perhaps a hybrid with hadriaticus?

edit to resize the gargantuum thomasii  :-[

Otto,
I watered my crocus bed yesterday evening. In the clouldless night temperatures dropped to 8°C and overnight some more flower shots of speciosus and pulchellus appeared - really amazing fast. It must be the combination of temperature differences and moist who drives the growth.
I'm glad also C. caspius (from your seed) shows new sign of growth. I hope for flowers next year.
