Thanks all, I think I'll give it a try over the weekend (maybe I'll do this on 4 of 6 large-flowered ones, just for insurance) Tony, what has been your experience that Crocus shouldn't be moved in flower?
Armin, I can imagined how it is sad to lost some part of collection! Mine are also out side without any wintercare. I had also lots of snow this winter. My raised bads were covered with 30cm snow. I was so sory that I have lost my colchicums (baytopiorum, chalconicum, and some more...) But now they are all perfect. I have only some demaged leaves of C. wattiorum. But me I lost crocuses in hot and rainy summer conditions. (like hadriaticus and from pallasii grps. ex.) I believe that you will have lots of cormlets next year for increasing up your collection.
Crocus oliveri ssp. balansae in my meadow. This species survived this winter but many other not!
This Crocus was also collected in Chios. What is that. Thank you for help.
Sadly i don't have any crocus blooming in my garden yet, but there are some lovely ones where i have my workshop. Today i noticed that one of them have 2 extra petals..6 is the normal amount, right? Does anyone know what this is? The lady that owns them have gotten them from an old garden.
