I'm very curious to see what will come out from the middle one! i find it quite unusual...
My vitellinus are coming out as well and they look like your last photo.

Oron,
Me too!
I will post a pic as soon as they open. If I remember correct the corms were quite large, but I can't remember anything about the corm tunic. Now I regret that I didn't took a pic of them before planting. In the future, I will take pics of all the new crocus corms I acquire.

Poul

A good bright colour on a cold overcast day, but I did have to bring it indoors to open up. Crocus chrysanthus from Turkey, a gift from a forumist.

Melvyn,
I like this chrysanthus form with the violet stem. 8) Makes a nice contrast.

Ian,
it is a great pleasure to see a rarely cultivated C. siehanus in flower. What makes it so difficult to keep it alive/propagate for you?
'Sunspot' and imperati are gorgeous. 8)

Thanks Luc

Armin I have struggled with this one and have only just managed to maintain it over the 5 years. I have similar problems with some strains of chrysanthus ??? Probably haven't got the cultivation correct yet

Ian,

it's not just you - I have had a small corm of siehanus for a few years which every so often puts on enough growth to flower, then regresses straight back to seedling size (as currently). I have no idea what to change, and don't really want to risk my single plant on anything radical anyway.

Glad its not only me. The bible says cold winters and a long dry summer rest. I am trying my best but have only managed 3 flowerings in 6 years

Maybe Dirk Schnabel knows some tricks how to grow C. sieheanus more successful?

Yes maybe, the nibble skill (luck) necessary from 'maintain' to 'propagate'. ;D

For several years I have had the same problem  with the albino form of C. corsicus  & I too am at a loss.

Here Armin, grows Crocus sieheanus not worse than many other species. She wants to remain long green, hold dry so not too early.
The plants in the shown pot are descended from one corm, i got that about 10 years ago.
