One from the greenhouse today- Crocus serotinus ssp clusii 'Poseidon'.
Some pics from yesterday in my garden - thanks to very generous friends two exceptional beauties are flowering on the Balearic Islands: Crocus hyemalis - looks every year better - and also Crocus moabiticus has adapted well the last years to the local conditions, it is the first time it has a fascinating flower.As the control of moisture in pots is quite difficult with such delicate and rare plants I planted them out (accompanied by some heavy bellyache) - it seems the decision was not wrong.
David - I find this grows quite well outside - it has survived the last two cold winters. And it has stood up to the recent heavy rain.
Not the season, but I want to add here pictures of some of mine nubigena, mostly from Lesbos and Samos.Janis
Great to see this Janis . Wich period they flowering on Lesbos and Samos ?
Oron,Your hussknechtii is a little strange! I didn't see before with white anthers!Best my Wishes...
It is so special , the idea that Crocus can grow in desert or semi desert -area .
I hope I can grow some of them in the future.
Hans, either you live in the desert or you are a master grower!
Kris and Oron, thanks a lot for your comments!Have a good Microclimate.
