AMAZING Thomas, last week Wednesday no sign of buds and now so many flowers. ???

Luit, the rainy and cold weather must have set them into growth, but there are still thousands under ground!

What a beautiful picture of Crocus spec. Artabir, David.  8)
But I'm afraid you'll have to rush upstairs and check the database on the computer
for the right name this time.

Luit, thank you. My wife sometimes says I don't know my 'R's' from my elbow! :o This time I can't read my 'R's' from my 'N's' ;D

It must not have been your fault, David. Perhaps it was my terrible handwriting on the paperbag  :-\
You were not the first! Since a few weeks I send the correct names via e-mail to my swap partners.
Did you put your nose on speciosus Artabir? It has a wonderful scent!!!

They are all nice Dirk but I particularly like the second C. vallicola form.

Dirk, I`m baff. C. vallicola with stripes, never heard, never seen before.

Here is an ordinary C. banaticus. I can`t take a photo with the right color. Of course he isn`t blue, it should be a deep violet.

A mirror helped to achieve the right color of this bicolored Crocus banaticus.
