Title: unknown autum crocus
Post by: Catwheazle on October 11, 2022, 03:02:57 PM
Hello, can someone tell me what kind of crocus this could be?
Was probably present with C. ligustcus and now flowers at the same time as it.
I looked at different autumn crocuses and i think salzmannii come close :-(

Please help
thanks
Bernd

Looks like a C. longiflorus, Bernd.

The riddle has been solved. It is probably the commercial form of C. ligusticus infected
with a virus. This was confirmed to me by several competent sources :-(
I will destroy the plant with a heavy heart.

Yet another reason to go to the trouble of growing from seed...
