Crocus November 2007

(1/30) > >>

Thomas Huber:
Good morning November!

Despite the early started flowering season I still have many crocus in my garden!

- cancellatus ssp lycius
- cancellatus ssp pamphyllicus - the only cancellatus with white anthers (2 photos)
- cancellatus ssp mazziaricus
- biflorus ssp melantherus - the black-anthered autumn biflorus (thanks Dirk)
- ? this blue beauty was found in a hadriaticus mix, but the long red style points for cartwrightianus. Any other ideas?
- longiflorus collected on Sicily, a small, dark form which is my favourite of all longiflorus (2 photos)

Thomas Huber:
.... and some more:

- 2 forms of laevigatus
- ochroleucus, the trade form
- hadriaticus M 5048 with its wonderful stripes
- one of my favourite autumn crocus, robertianus

mark smyth:
thats a good show. We have another dull autumn day and heavy rain. I'm still worried about the absence of Crocus flowers. There has been no sign of nice in the pots. I'll knock a few out this weekend.

Various korolokowii and chrysanthus now have colour showing at the tip of their buds

Thomas Huber:
That is very, very early, Mark. My chrysanthus only have the first leaves! No sign of korolkowii.

Fabulous Thomas - Some super plants and beautifully photographed.
Are most of these new arrivals or have they been outside for one or more winters already?  They certainly look happy in your garden .... here the Atlantic influence on the weather would 'challenge' some of them.  This year with a cool wet summer the display from my autumn crocus planted outside has been very poor - and the cool, wet autumn has not helped them to look good either.

Mark - are we talking flower buds or just the shoots??
